Looks like we are full with Tony Trischka (oh yeah), Danny Barnes (insanity!) and Frank Evans. Looks like a good time. Question, though: is Frank going to be teaching bluegrass banjo? All respect, but isn’t he a clawhammer player?

Hi BanZoid!

Yes, Frank is going to be teaching bluegrass style banjo in the instrument instruction sessions. Though… I expect he’ll teach at least 1 afternoon elective on clawhammer (which I’m certainly hoping to sneak into!).

All 3 of this year’s instructors have strong, uniquely individual styles so I think it’s going to be a really interesting and inspiring week for banjo players. :thumbsup
