ACOUSTIC ROOTS WORKSHOPS
with
MARK DVORAK
& Instructors from the
Old Town School of Folk Music
We began workshops with Mark back in the fall of 2007 and had a great time meeting on Wednesday evenings about once a month. In 2008, we welcomed additional instructors from OTS, as well as three workshops running simultaneously during the evening. Each workshop night concluded with a short jam session and sing-along for all attendees in the main room, Fellowship Hall. We'll see what happens in the coming year and will keep you posted with workshop information.
NEW FACES in 2008
Also known as The Pickin' Bubs, OTS instructors Peggy Browning, Louie Mitchell and Maura Lally joined the 08/09 workshop series. Maura & Peg taught basic guitar workshops, and Lou headed up all things fiddle. Mark continued with Acoustic Blues Guitar, Finger Picking Guitar, and two new workshops, Fret Board Theory and Improvising Guitar.
All workshops are $25 per person and run from 7-9pm. Recommended for adults 18 and older. REGISTRATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (see below for details) No payment required until evening of the workshop!

WORKSHOP SERIES
A few times throughout the year on Saturday evenings, the Someplace Else Concert Series steps into Fellowship Hall at Highlands Presbyterian Church and provides an evening of live music performed by singer/songwriters from across the country. Established in the fall of 2003, “SPE” or “the Coffeehouse” as it’s often and fondly called, provides an evening of great music, great fellowship, and even homemade snacks during intermission.
What’s not to like?!
Take note of the concert dates (see left) and join us for another great line up during 2009/2010!
