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 include lots of workshops, 3 concerts, 2 coaching sessions, plus jamming, singing, and dancing.
Featured musician faculty includes host band Simple Gifts, Boston-based string quartet featuring New Grass & Swing the Ruta Beggars, two of America’s best-loved multi-instrumentalist and folk singers Sally Rogers & Howie Bursen, Celtic roots trio Kalos, quirky singer-songwriter Shanna in a Dress, multi-genre trad Midnight on the Water, groovy Middle Eastern Gypsy Funk Squad, and more.
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.
