Emergency WorkShop Warning
System (EWWS)
We've revived our system to notify Gryphonites of upcoming
workshops about one week before they take place. If
you haven't received an email from us about workshops
in the last month or so, it means we probably lost your
address or failed to update it. (We had more than a
few techno disasters with our bulk email program.) To
sign up for EWWS, please send your current email address
to: . We will NOT sell, loan, or trade our email list to
anyone else! |

Evie Laden: Clawhammer Banjo
Sat, Nov 15th 3:00pm – 5:00pm, $40
Clawhammer Banjo: This 2 hour clawhammer banjo workshop will accomodate players at various levels. Students will learn several old-time tunes in different keys, while picking up licks and techniques for playing any tune. We will also discuss and practice techniques for playing while singing, and/or accompanying songs.
Evie Ladin grew up with traditional American music and dance, playing clawhammer banjo and clogging at music festivals all over the East Coast with her sister Abby. Now in the San Francisco Bay Area, Evie appears as a versatile dancer, banjo player and vocalist with The Stairwell Sisters and Keith Terry & Crosspulse. Evie teaches classes and workshops in percussive dance and banjo nationally, appearing at major festivals, concert halls, camps and square dances. Her style is similar to Round Peak playing, and is highly percussive in nature.
