SUMMARY:Bluegrass Duet Class with Alan Epstein and Bruce Thompson
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Family Folk		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe purpose of this class is to allow acoustic musicians to work on Bluegrass Duet repertoire with a musical partner. Early groups such as the Blue Sky Boys\, the Monroe Brothers\, the Louvin Brothers\, and the Delmore Brothers helped develop the roots of the sound that we know as bluegrass. Each week we will listen to recorded examples of these and other duet and bluegrass artists and will work on singing and playing some of their best known songs.  \n \nThis class is NOT intended for beginning musicians looking to learn the basics of their instruments. Rather\, it is aimed at those who can play their acoustic instrument\, (guitar\, banjo\, bass\, fiddle\, mandolin\, dobro) and are interested in exploring the music's roots to help them fine tune their sound with a duet partner. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n	\n					\n				Streaming\n			\n			\n	 \n\n\n \n	\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Mandolin Vitamins – Tunes\, Techniques and Ensemble Music\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 11 • 10 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Clawhammer Banjo with Carolyn Shapiro\n\n				American Roots Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 12 • 3 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		After School Folk Ensemble with James Gascoyne and Oona Grady\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Country Folk Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 13 • 2:30 PM
