Adam Hurt & Beth Hartness

Be the Banjo Player in the Old-Time Trio with Adam Hurt and Beth Hartness

Floyd Ecovillage 188 Ecovillage Trail, Floyd, VA

Banjo-playing participants will be invited one at a time to join Adam on fiddle and Beth on guitar, playing a tune of their choice at their preferred tempo. Friendly feedback will be provided before and after each collaboration on how to make the blending of instruments as successful as possible. This is a great workshop for folks who have developed a bit of comfort on the banjo in a vacuum but are not quite sure how to play with the other instruments and/or do not feel ready to jump into an open jam.
