SUMMARY:Bluegrass Duet Class with Alan Epstein

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.  This 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		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 7:30 pm	\n	 \n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$27.11\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$30.37\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$15.18\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				Get Tickets			\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		Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play featuring Joel Brown and Peter Madcat Ruth\n\n				American Roots\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n			Sold Out		\n\n		\n			Jul 26 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour\n\n				American Roots\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 31 • 12 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Rory Block\n\n				Blues\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 31 • 8 PM
