Workshop: Alan Munde and Bill Evans
Legendary banjo players and teachers Alan Munde and Bill Evans will each teach two 1-hour small group sessions and then come together for a final session with all students.

This is a hands-on, "bring your banjo and let's pick" event with topics designed for beginning, intermediate and advanced banjo players. Tab examples will be presented in all sessions.

The traveling duo are staying over an extra day in Victoria so they can lead workshops on the night after their concert. This is a rare chance to learn from two legendary masters - players, stylists and teachers - of the banjo.

Check out the workshop description.

traditional grounding in bluegrass music as a member of IBMA Hall of Fame member Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys.  In 1972 Alan Joined his college picking friend Byron Berline in the forward-leaning bluegrass group
