Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
Join us for a lively and hands-on Jug Band Workshop where we’ll explore the joy of making music with everyday objects and traditional instruments.
- How to play classic jug band instruments: washboard, jug, washtub bass, and more
- Incorporating ukuleles and other found sounds into the mix
- Building confidence by rotating through instruments so everyone gets a turn
- Working together on a handful of songs to create that authentic jug band groove
- Gain confidence on multiple instruments
- Experience the fun of collaborative, improvised music-making
- Celebrate creativity by turning ordinary items into extraordinary sounds
Come ready to experiment, laugh, and make music in the most unexpected ways!
