Join us for a 2-day class that will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2019 (9:00 am – 2:00 pm) and Saturday, November 2, 2019 (9:00 am – 7:30 pm) at Community United Church of Christ in Raleigh, NC.
Over these two Saturdays, we’ll get you up and running with the basics of bluegrass jamming. We’ll teach you about the roles of each instrument in a bluegrass jam, how to anticipate chord changes, how to lead a song, song kickoffs, lead and harmony singing, instrument solos, jamming etiquette, and more! Beginners and experienced jammers are all welcome!
Lunch and dinner provided for the November 2 class.
