Jon Bekoff Project - Georgia Old Time Music Workshops

Thanks to the Aerin de Russy, Bailey Craig, Ben Hood and Ryan Brown -- otherwise known as The Yellow Dandies -- for teaching Old-Time folks about Bluegrass, and Bluegrass folks about Old-Time -- and then leading us in a crossover jam! Not only was it fun, but it's a mindset that will help us expand our jams, our genres, and our circle of musical friends. Watch out for more Jon Bekoff programming coming soon!

Blue Time Workshop - Yellow Dandies in Atlanta - Jon Bekoff Project - Frank Hamilton School collab thanks to support from the frank hamilton school, which included frank hamilton participating directly in this Jon Bekoff project event held at Wallers Coffe...

Join us at Waller’s from 2-4pm on Sunday November 5th with special guest The Yellow Dandies, a fantastic group from Birmingham who play old-time fiddle tunes, bluegrass, and everything in between. The Dandies will demonstrate some of their crossover tunes that bring together the melodies and rhythms of old-time music with some of the improvisation and hot licks that people associate with bluegrass, and then they will lead a workshop to teach participants some of the tricks of their trade. Whether you’re interested in old-time, bluegrass, or both, this workshop and jam will help us find common ground between these deeply related forms of American folk music. Brennan Breed of the Frank Hamilton School will help co-host. All levels and instruments welcome.

Share and spread the word. Sunday, Oct 1st 2-4pm

Free workshop for Old-time C tunes followed by a jam led by Evan Kinney at Wallers outdoor space (inside in case of rain).
