Who's going to the 2015 Swannanoa Gathering?
I've just made my class selections for the
Swannanoa Gathering's Mandolin and Banjo Week (held concurrently with Fiddle Week), August 2-8 at Warren Wilson College near Asheville, NC. This was for pre-registered participants, but general registration will open to all on March 11. The public website will be updated in about a week to show the 2015 offerings.
My primary interest is swing music on the mandolin, but bluegrass, old time and classical and Celtic are represented, as well.
Great instructors:
Mandolin: Mike Marshall, Joe Walsh, Don Stiernberg, Jesse Cobb, Matt Flinner, Caterina Lichtenberg
Banjo: Alison Brown, Bill Evans, Alan Munde, Mark Johnson, Bob Carlin,
Fiddle: Darel Anger, Michael Doucet, Joe Craven, Evan Price (Hot Club of San Francisco), Casey Driessen, and many others. Cello and bass instruction, too.
Guitar instruction is also available from Greg Ruby (Hot Club of San Francisco - Swing), David Surette (Celtic accompaniment) and Ed Dodson (Bluegrass accompaniment).
Luthier-in-residence: Lynn Dudenbostel
