Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to study with one or all of these masterful instructors.


 


For the past 17 years, Ron Block has been the spiritual touchstone of Alison Krauss and Union Station, contributing sterling musicianship on Banjo, Guitar and vocals. A Grand Ole’ Opry performer, Ron brings a unique and distinctive playing style to the Banjo, playing with spontaneity and fervor, while holding the precision and solidity that Bluegrass demands.  Ron will conduct a three hour Master Class in both Bluegrass Guitar and Bluegrass Banjo, sharing his unique and powerful playing style with those who want to add a professional edge to their playing. 


 


Sixteen-year-old Virtuoso, Sierra Hull has amazed you with her award winning Mandolin playing since the age of eight.  Her recent national debut album “Secrets” has set the acoustic word abuzz with excitement for this performer who displays instrumental facility and musical maturity well beyond her years.  She reveals the secrets to her mandolin playing style in a three-hour master class.


 


For Bluegrass Banjo Enthusiasts who need to gain a firm knowledge of Backup Skills, Richie Dotson, World famous for his Banjo Playing, Teaching, Building and Repair and author of “Bluegrass Banjo How and Why” teaches Bluegrass Backup on the 5-String Banjo.  With over 20 years of teaching experience and an encyclopedic knowledge of the banjo fingerboard you will walk away from this All Day Class with a wealth of knowledge that will be with you for years to come.


 


Workshops are only $45 each, per person, with a $5.00 discount for multiple workshops, and as a bonus, a Special Concert on Friday, Oct. 10th at 7:30 pm with Ron Block and Sierra Hull is only $10.00 after your $5.00 concert discount with any pre-paid workshop.
