Hornby Island Blues Workshop
May 7th through 11th, 2019
Good Faith - Good Vibrations
With twenty years of blues behind us, we start our third decade with the same enthusiasm and top-shelf workshop instruction that were acknowledged in our Maple Blues Award last year. 2020 will be exactly that —20 years of experience and 20 more years of promoting great blues music in Canada.
We have an exciting teaching lineup that we know will be well-received by you, our student population, since many of the suggestions came from you. As usual we have a well-balanced program but with a few new twists that ensure that whatever Blues and Roots directions or techniques you are interested in that we have a professional musician who can take you there.
We will soon post all of the classes available right here on this website but for now here is the overview of the 2020 Hornby Blues Workshop.
