4th Annual Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp

OWENSBORO, KY-  The International Bluegrass Music Museum will present the 4th annual Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp this coming September 11-13 2009 in Owensboro, Kentucky.  Our goal in hosting this camp is to preserve the unique, historic performance art of Bill Monroe, "The Father of Bluegrass," by teaching his style of mandolin playing and songwriting to a new generation of players. At the Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp, you will spend three days with 6 of the finest mandolin players and 50 of the coolest mandolin campers on Planet Earth. With registration capped at 50, the camp's intimate environment allows for ample opportunities to receive personal, hands-on instruction from each of these legends of Monroe-Style mandolin. 

The camp package will include: Intensive group lessons in Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels. Choose one level or migrate throughout the weekend. An all-night Pickin' Party and Bluegrass Invitational with a feast from Moonlite. Learn why they call this part of Kentucky "The Bluegrass and Barbeque Region". Lunch on Saturday and Sunday at the museum. Lodging Friday and Saturday the Hampton Inn. Continental breakfast included. A reserved seat at the All-Star Faculty Concert featuring all instructors plus Tom Ewing. It's open to the public but campers get the closest seats. A group photo and a bootleg tape/CD trading session. Free admission to the museum on Thursday and Monday, before & after camp. An International Bluegrass Music Museum instrument case decal. The special edition t-shirt and poster (they rock this year).
