Michael Connolly from Seattle's Empty Sea Studios here with a quick announcement about an amazing webcast this weekend.
This Saturday, you're in for a treat as one of the West Coast's greatest banjo players takes our stage for a one-of-a-kind performance. California-based Bill Evans is widely recognized not only as a superb player of 5-string banjo, but as an incredibly well-versed historian of the instrument. This weekend Bill will be taping a live DVD at the studio as he presents The Banjo In America - a historical survey of the banjo from its African roots to its present-day form. Surrounded by a host of different historical replica instruments, Bill presents a fascinating story of this unique instrument.
We're broadcasting this show live on The Roots Channel -- and if you haven't checked The Roots Channel out yet, you owe it to yourself to take a look -- this is very different than low-quality, single-camera webcasts you may have seen in the past. We broadcast live with 4 HD cameras and a dedicated audio engineer. The webcast is viewable in realtime on desktop, smartphones and tablets, with a chatroom for other banjo nuts :)
Viewing the webcast costs $5, which helps Bill defray the costs of making a DVD, and covers both the live broadcast and the subsequent on-demand version. To learn more, visit The Roots Channel at:

Thanks for your time and I hope to see you here!
Best,
Michael Connolly
