Workshops Galore
Posted: June 8th, 2010
Seedtime 2010 is delighted to announce this year’s workshop line-up.
Mountain music fans will have the chance to learn from music legends at the Masters’ Workshop on the festival Workshop Stage at 3pm on Saturday. Kentucky greats John Harrod and Paul Smith will present a workshop on Kentucky fiddle traditions alongside George Gibson, who will showcase traditional Kentucky banjo styles. Audience members will have the chance to interact with these three masters directly. Who knows? You might just get a chance to try some bow-driving and finger picking yourself.
Down the road at the historic Whitesburg post office, Dr. Ron Pen from the University of Kentucky will lead a Sacred Harp shape note singing school Saturday from 10am-12pm. People of all singing levels are invited to participate in this rich American heritage tradition; no experience is necessary.
