Bluegrass in the Gorge Oct 15-18th

Imagine 4 days and 3 nights in the Columbia River Gorge filled with bluegrass instruction and jamming for guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and bass. Bluegrass in the Gorge is for bluegrass players who want to improve their instrumental skills and enjoy making music with others. If you love bluegrass and want to take your skills and enjoyment to the next level, this is the long weekend for you!

Dave Keenan has gathered a staff composed of incredible musicians who are also great teachers: Amy Alvey, Hailey Pexton, Ethan Lawton, and Forrest Marowitz.

Menucha is a magical spot in the Columbia River Gorge. October is a beautiful time to be here. We've got comfy beds, great rooms, porches and patios on which to gather and make music and this bluegrass camp has a capacity of 50.
