Bluegrass Banjo with Sammy Shelor and Gene Parker
Intermediate/Advanced Bluegrass Banjo Workshop
Sunday November 10, 2019
1:30 – 3:30 pm | $40
The Handmade Music School is excited to present this intermediate/advanced Bluegrass banjo workshop with two of our own local bluegrass legends, Sammy Shelor (Lonesome River Band) and Gene Parker (Lost and Found). Cost is $40.
Sammy Shelor is a member of the Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame, 5-time IBMA Banjo Player of the Year, and also the 2011 recipient of the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. He has led the Lonesome River Band for nearly three decades.
Gene Parker was a founding member of the Lost and Found and recorded a solo album called “Struttin’ to Ferrum”. Highly praised among fellow banjo pickers, Gene is cited as a primary influence by many of today’s leading players including Sammy Shelor.
