Workshop Schedule We are again having FREE workshops this year, led by the members of Palmer Divide, from Colorado. Workshops provide an opportunity for anyone wanting to learn to play an instrument, or to enhance their skills, a chance to learn from the pros! We will feature workshops for dobro, mandolin/fiddle, bass, and guitar. A new feature will be a workshop for bands, led by Palmer Divide, the Retro Rangers (formerly Spontaneous Combustion) and Mark Johnson from Wichita (the McLemore Family's "stage coach"). This should provide some excellent information for performers who want to improve on interacting with and entertaining the audience, practicing, and "working" the microphones to really help their sound. Any festival-goer is encouraged to attend the workshops, regardless of whether or not they play an instrument or are in a band.
