The Evening Music Programs are such a vital part of Preserving Our Southern Appalachian Music! They provide the camaraderie, a sense of belonging to a unique group of individuals, a bridge between the generations, and the introduction or perpetuation of the love of old-time bluegrass music.
Even during unprecedented times, these programs can propel us forward. With that in mind, our dedicated program directors, along with their gifted instructors, have stepped up to the plate and come up with a plan to safely start up our evening music programs. Students may be sitting farther apart, donning their eye-catching masks, and applying the hand sanitizer a bit more frequently than ever before, but their hearts will be astir and their feet will be keeping beat to the irresistibly invigorating bluegrass music!
The Easley, Pickens, and Six Mile Evening Programs will all start up the week of October 26th and will be 6 weeks in duration. The cost will be $60, and the instrument rental fee will be $25.00 for any students needing to rent. All three sites will employ CDC guidelines for safely reopening. The date for start up of the Clemson and Greenville locations is to be decided.
