Pete Wernick @ Midwest Banjo Camp
June 1, 2023 – June 4, 2023 EDT
North Manchester, IN
The Midwest Banjo Camp is one I’ve I’ve always enjoyed — a dazzling array of top players, both 3-finger and clawhammer: Munde, Trischka, Cahill, Baugus, Hurt, Blount and many other “stalwarts of the five”, plus even some 4-string instructors, Greg Blake on guitar, and … well, check out their website!
In addition to serving on the banjo teaching staff, I’ll be teaching Wernick Method jamming to all participants. This camp takes all instruments, so consider joining in!
The new location is by Ft. Wayne, IN, and with the pandemic receding it’s their first assembly since 2019 — so best get your spot early!
