Pete Wernick is renowned worldwide for his accomplishments and contributions to bluegrass music: the hot-picking force in several trend-setting bands including Hot Rize, innovative teacher and author, songwriter, and long-term President of the International Bluegrass Music Association. Always active in the teaching of banjo and bluegrass, Pete was the original pioneer of bluegrass music camps in the early 1980s. Having since taught about 200 camps in about half of the U.S. states and three other countries, he continues to host several per year.
In 2010, he launched the Wernick Method of teaching bluegrass jamming which as of 2021 has certified over 100 teachers offering classes in 46 states and 11 countries. See Pete’s full bio.

Looking forward to this, especially to gaining confidence to sing in public and finding the right key for the right songs.
One maybe glitch — I have severe food allergies to nuts (tree nuts and peanuts), and to “seafood” (including freshwater fish). Would it be better for me to just bring my own food?

My uncle had bluegrass festivals in southern Ohio in the 70’s. I know Bill Monroe was there, but can’t remember the others. I was a kid.
