I love running into friends and fans at the gigs that I do! You are part of what makes performing with my banjo so fun and rewarding. I'm conductiong two workshops in 2012, and appearing at a handful of gigs with my band Steam Powered Bluegrass. Hopefully my calendar has something that will work for your schedule. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
The details are still coming together on this one. It'll likely be a workshop in two sessions: a two hour beginning picker's session, followed by a two hour intermediate picker's session. The location will be in New Era, Michigan, and there will be a cost to attend. Keep an eye on this area. I'll be updating it as the details come together.
I'll be appearing with Steam Powered Bluegrass at the monthly meeting and jam session of The West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association. Come on out and bring your instrument for some fun jamming, both before and after we play our set. For more information on this event, click over to the WMBMA website: www.wmbma.org
