Old-Time String Band Week: A Traditional Music Event

A week of workshops in old-time string band instruments, such as the mandolin, fiddle and banjo. For beginner to advanced students. Instructors will include Curly Miller and DeeAnn Gillispie (fiddle), Carole Anne Rose and Karen Kraft (banjo). Other instructors will be named as the dates approach.

Curly and Carole Anne perform nationally as the Old 78s (www.theold78s.com), while DeeAnn Gillispie is a regular at the Ozark Folk Center, performing with several bands. Karen Kraft played banjo with the great Missouri fiddler, Bob Holt, for the last six years of his life.

The intermediate to advanced workshops will consist of class time with the instructors, as well a group jam during the day, concentrating on putting the tunes learned into a group context.

The Folk Center will have its usual nightly shows, Wed.-Sat., with special performances by the instructors and students (perfomance is not mandatory)as a group.
