Faculty list is up for the Port Townsend workshop. Guitar players should be very happy. And Robert Belfour is back. Looks like a pretty great lineup with some new faces to me. Though I am rather bummed to see that Jerron Paxton is not on the list. (Sorry, had to get one complaint in, and I didn't even mention the lack of banjo instruction.  )

[edit: UB I corrected the url, sometime after you posted they took the '-acoustic' out of there - rivers]

Wow ! Which is the nearest airport ?

Doesn't look as if there's anyone left for the UK  Bluesweek faculty  which is billed for the same week. How much to Seattle?

Del Rey is booked in for Bluesweek.

Hopefully we'll get to do some more shows together while she's over.

I'll keep you all posted.

Looking forward, Adam.

What a fabulous lineup -- a good year to come Brits!

I'm very pleased to let you all know that Jerron Paxton will be on faculty for Fiddle Tunes (also at Fort Worden, in Port Townsend) - dates are July 1-8.  Teaching banjo! We haven't "unveiled" the faculty for Fiddle Tunes yet, but I hope that will happen very soon. There's still more to do, but I can tell you that we have another amazing faculty this year including older generation musicians who are among the last active links to that earlier time of the 20s and 30s.

I think I won't be able to be on faculty at Blues Week again til I'm finished with my stint as Artistic Director of Fiddle Tunes, there seems to be a rule against having the same folks at both weeks.  In the meantime, I would be happy to teach blues fiddle at EuroWeenie....

[Norfolk Slim]

Wow. Certainly would be a good year to come slack. Finance and family mean its a non starter for me though. Is eba definitely the same week blueshome?  Thought they were moving it for olympics. If its same week, its certainly going to be interesting to see what sort of lineup michael roach manages to gather.

[blueshome]

We were told it would be earlier because of the b****y games but the Euroblues website currently says 29th July for 2012..... as our colonial cousins might say... go figure...

John,
Are you going to be teaching at Guitar Intensives this summer?

Would be great to see some UK Weenies make it across the water.

Suzy, Blues week's loss is Fiddle Tunes' gain. Jerron totally smokes on banjo. Good choice.

[Rivers]

Count me in. IN, I'm tellin' ya'. Reserving my vacation time at work tomorrow.

[Johnm]

Hi Gary,
Yes, I will be teaching at Guitar Intensives right after Port Townsend, and it does look like a great line-up.
All best,
Johnm

[Bill Roggensack]

Yes - a terrific line-up for sure. And soon we will know who the new Blues Program Director will be at Centrum. I would have been there regardless, but like Rivers, I have made an entry in my calendar for PTCBW_2012. And with Jerron on banjo, Fiddle Tunes is looking awfully interesting too. Maybe I should just be planning to take up residence in PT for a month or so next summer? Better check with Mrs. Page first!
