Summer Schedule!

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:24:27 +0000

We have not one but two new batches of classes to announce! In July we’re featuring four weeks of old-time and blues classes, and in August we’re all about the bluegrass. Registration deadline for July classes is July 5, and for August classes is August 8. Most of these summer classes are aimed at the advanced-beginning level (beginners classes will be offered again in our 8-week Fall semester, starting September 20). We’re adding a few new instructors, Gordy Nichol on bass, Roy Curry teaching guitar, Laura Walker teaching singing, and Ed Huey for harmonica. Speaking of Ed Huey, he’ll be performing this Saturday afternoon, June 26, at the Folk School—and knowing Ed, it should be a really fun show! This and many other summer performances are listed on our Events page: http://chattanoogafolk.com/events

Lon Eldridge

Lon Eldridge, blues and Americana musician, will perform in our very first rooftop concert on Friday April 16th, at 8pm. ($10 suggested donation.)

The roof is a wonderful place with a magnificent view of Chattanooga, but we can only invite 15 people up at a time. So if you would like to get your name on our guest list for the concert on Friday, email us at music@chattanoogafolk.com with the answer to this question: Where is Robert Johnson buried?

Feel free to join us after 9:30pm for the after-party. No invitation necessary! Bring an instrument, a friend, and byob.

Also, don’t forget to register for spring classes and workshops at the Folk School. Lon will be teaching a blues slide guitar workshop on June 5th. http://chattanoogafolk.com/classes

Wintersong Songwriter Workshop and Concert

We are sponsoring the Wintersong Songwriter Workshop and Concert at the Barking Legs Theater this Saturday, February 20th. It’s a great opportunity for aspiring songwriters to spend a full day working with experts in their field. Then, the whole day wraps up with a nice concert at the end, so the rest of us can come enjoy the music of these songwriters! We hope to see you there!
