get into that old time groove.

They recently recorded their first album, Hand-Me-Downs, a collection of traditional songs that captures the energy of their live performance.myspace.com/saturdaysaintsmusic

Opening up “The Blackest Crow” Hannah Naiman and Emily Adam are the up-and-coming duo The Blackest Crow. Their harmonies & traditional, yet fresh material will blow you away! Find them on Facebook.
These two accomplished young women are on the move. Hannah writes ballads that sound as if you might have heard them in the court of Elizabeth I - only they're better written (not that Arnie's biased!) As for Emily, well..."There are few situations in life that cannot be improved upon by adding a cello."- J.Crabtree

Banjo workshop description:
Bring your banjo - this is a hands on workshop. The first part of the workshop
is covering the fundamentals of clawhammer from basic to advanced. It's always
great to get back to basics no matter what level you may be at - something I
really like doing. We will cover basic stroke, hammer on, pull off, slide,
double thumb, drop thumb. Then we will work on a tune or 2 together slowly using
these techniques. In a workshop some players may pick up things faster than
others - be patient and lets try and work on these together. It's not necessary
to play or master every lick or technique- the workshop is an exercise for you
to pick up on some things which you will find useful in your everyday playing. I
may also delve into chords, playing up the neck, and tunings depending on how
the time goes. Lets learn and have some fun doing it!
