Have you wondered what gives bluegrass singing its sound?  Or how roots harmony differs from pop harmony?  In this one-shot workshop, you will learn songs from the Americana umbrella – bluegrass/country/folk etc.  The focus will be singing!  In harmony!  You will also learn a bit about the music’s history and style along with general tips on how harmony works.   Fun for all levels!
