“The workshop is a great way to elevate your playing while having fun and meeting a bunch of people who share the passion for Swing & Jump Blues. The bucket list I didn’t know that I had!” - Mark S.

“This is my first ever guitar workshop. The group size was perfect. The material was relevant. The instructors were exceptional in subject matter knowledge, application and proficiency.” - Simon

“Top-notch from top to bottom for a year one event! The personal interaction with the instructors was amazing but the real magic was in the community. Some real friendships were made. On the musical front, my playing improved in real time, on site.” - Paul
