More info here: http://centrum.org/port-townsend-acoustic-blues-festival-workshop/Each year, hundreds of blues musicians descend on Fort Worden State Park, turning the historic facility in to a giant resonating chamber for acoustic blues music. The Park comes alive, and so does each musician who makes it happen.
Indeed, the cornerstone of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival is the weeklong workshop, July 29 – August 5, 2012, where participants live and play with the bearers of acoustic blues traditions.
Led by Artistic Director Daryl Davis, the week is designed to make you a better musician–and does it ever–but it is so much more. Day and night, you’ll hang out, jam and swap tunes with interesting, accomplished, and fun musicians from around the nation.
This generous community shares your passion and energy, and we can almost guarantee that by the end of the week you AND your playing will be heading into directions you didn’t predict just a few days earlier.
Daily classes are offered in Piedmont style fingerpicking, blues guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, blues piano, bass, blues singing, and gospel choir, all taught by masters of the traditions.
