Pete Wernick @ Idaho Bluegrass & Banjo Camp
June 8, 2023 – June 11, 2023 EDT
Weiser, ID
A new one for me, the Idaho Bluegrass and Banjo Camp is near Boise, at the site of the renowned Weiser National Old-Time Fiddle Contest and Festival.
With 2 expert teachers each on guitar, mandolin, and fiddle as well as *three* on banjo, there’ll be plenty of what I call “realistic bluegrass” jamming, with a good balance of instruments. Classes are capped 15, and these folks seem very well-organized and eager to serve bluegrass pickers at all levels.
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!
