NashCamp Banjo Retreat 2009
Bill Evans sent a note last week with news of the 2009 NashCamp Banjo Retreat scheduled for October 16-18 just outside of Nashville.
As always, they have a crackerjack staff of banjo instructors on tap, and Evans was especially pleased to note that this year Bill Emerson will make his NashCamp Banjo faculty debut. Joining Emerson will be host Sonny Osborne, Alan Munde, Tom Adams, Charlie Cushman, Ned Luberecki, Bill Evans and Frank Neat.
This will be their 9th year holding this event which Evans tells us is as oriented towards having fun as it is serious banjo instruction.
You can see all the details about the 2009 NashCamp Banjo Retreat online.
