Join Us For a Live Clawhammer Banjo Workshop!
Please join us for Evie Ladin’s Clawhammer Banjo workshop, Jam Essentials: Back-Up, Speed Tuning, & More! This live workshop will happen on Zoom on Saturday, May 4, from 10 AM - 11:30 AM Pacific / 1 - 2:30 PM Eastern.
In old-time music sessions, people often play in one key for a while, settling into the specific tuning. But many of you want to play clawhammer banjo in all kinds of jams, including folk, bluegrass, and other styles where keys will fluctuate more quickly and unexpectedly. In this workshop, we’ll explore the same songs in different tunings, getting used to moving quickly so you can more easily join in. We'll look at ideas for backing up others when they’re leading or taking breaks, variations for you to support your singing, and more. We’ll also work on how to increase your own speed. You'll be ready for any jam or session!
We are suggesting a $25 donation for attendees and will have a donation jar available at the event, but we want you to be able to attend regardless of your financial circumstances, so please feel free to donate what you're able to.
Please fill out the registration form, and we will follow up the day before the workshop with a link for the Zoom room. Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!
Evie Ladin Band has a new LIVE album you can find on Bandcamp, evieladin.com and anywhere you stream your music.

ABOUT EVIE LADIN
Evie Ladin’s polyrhythmic clawhammer banjo style, resonant voice, and percussive dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Following a decade and three albums with the Stairwell Sisters, Evie has released four CDs that feature her banjo playing and songwriting: Float Downstream, Evie Ladin Band, Jump the Fire, and Caught on a Wire, as well as a traditional banjo and fiddle duet album with some of her favorite fiddlers: Riding the Rooster. And the Evie Ladin Band has just released Playing Our Hand, an EP of some of her favorite covers. She is also a crackerjack percussive dancer and incorporates that rhythmic work into her playing and singing. A popular instructor at many music camps, as well as Berkeley, California’s Freight and Salvage when she is home, Evie tours frequently with her partner Keith Terry and The Evie Ladin Band.
