Get together with like-minded lovers of folk music and singing! We meet twice a month to sing and play folk songs, most taken from the Rise Up Singing book. Members also bring lyrics to their favorite songs and hand out copies.

If you're familiar with folk music and are not shy about singing, or you play an acoustic instrument, come on down! Those who can sing harmonies or play fiddle, flute or harmonica are particularly welcome at this point.

Pete Wernick’s BLUEGRASS JAM CAMP

What it is:

A combination of classroom and hands-on instruction by an experienced, understanding teacher, 9:00-5:00 Tuesday and Wednesday and 9:00-1:00 Thursday.

You will be grouped with others according to experience, and do a lot of jamming, sometimes guided, sometimes on your own!

Pete will give group and individual pointers on instrumental technique, harmony singing, and the how-to’s of a variety of jam situations.
