Folk College, held May 24-26 at Juniata College in central PA, is a fun and friendly weekend for folk musicians of all levels, from absolute beginner to professional level.
Visit us online (www.folkcollege.com) for all the details, which includes lots of workshops, 3 concerts, 2 coaching sessions, plus jamming, singing, and dancing.
Featured musician faculty include masters of traditional music April Verch & Joe Newberry, the sweet harmonies of The Early Mays, blues and songwriting from Scott Ainslie & Reggie Harris, our host band Simple Gifts and many others.
Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are also choices for non-musicians who want to listen, learn, and experiment with folk music. Each evening features a faculty concert followed by faculty-led jam sessions. Saturday after the concert, we hold a contradance with an open band.
You’ll also have an opportunity to be coached by a professional musician in a band setting and to perform in the student concert.
