Here ye Hear ye…all you whistlers in Wisconsin…or whereever! Next weekend there is going to be an Acoustic Harvest of music workshops offered in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Well known Musicians that will be there are: Randy Sabien, Mike Dowling, Jerry Kosak, and Celia, music educators Pete Pivonka and Paul Srubas also.
The Pennywhistle workshop will be held Saturday Oct 9 from 10 - 11. A Celtic guitar workshop on Sunday from 11-12. All afternoon both days from 1 - 9pm various bands will be playing…Bob Darren Jr., Billy Jorgenson Blue Grass, Poor Man’s Labour (seen this group…they ROCK…IRISH TRAD ALL THE WAY!!), Home Brew, Pete Honzik & Dan Hildebrand.
The concerts are $10…for all of them!! Plus, if you sign up for any workshops, you can stay and watch the concerts all for the same price.
The workshops are $25 for one or all! They are geared for all ages and levels of expertise. The workshops will be slide guitar, tuning, penny whistle, jazz violin, finger style guitar, storytelling and Celtic Guitar. Like I said, the $25 gets you into all the workshops as well as the concerts.
I don’t have any affiliation with these guys…just saw this in the paper and wanted to let everyone know about it!! The farm is located at N2251 Wisconsin Hwy 42 in Kewaunee.
When I called them, I told them that I was a lone pennywhisltle player in the northwoods of Wisconsin…and he said…don’t worry…there will be plenty of opportunities to play in sessions with any of these guys!! YIPPPPEEEE MY FIRST EVER SESSION!!!
I hope some of you guys can come up…Kewaunee is by the lake, north of Manitowoc…about 2 hours from Milwaukee.
My hubby is selling ear plugs out on the highway that day…regretting he showed me this…He also warned me that he’s bringing his digital camera!! I’m bringing my Jerry Tweeked Generation and both my Hoovers…Hi D and Low!!
Hey…email me if you want these people’s phone number for more info on when the other workshops will be. I will DEFINATELY be at the whistle one…and for the rest of the day on Saturday…into the night!!
Oh one other thing…Food and bev will be availble…and not all the facilities are heated…so dress for the weather…
