THIRD ANNUAL DC BLUEGRASS UNION CAMP
www.dcbu.org

The greater Washington, D.C. area is home to some of the finest musicians and bands in bluegrass and oldtime music. The region has been a hotbed of talent and creativity for more than sixty years and has birthed such major acts as the Stonemans, Reno and Smiley, Emmy Lou Harris, Hazel Dickens,  Ola Belle Reed, Mike Seeger, the Country Gentlemen, the Johnson Mountain Boys, the Seldom Scene and many others. Mindful of that tradition, the D.C. Bluegrass Union joins with Common Ground on the Hill to present a week of instrumental, band and vocal classes taught by some of Washington’s best performers and teachers -- plus some very special additions. We welcome beginning to advanced players of all ages to an unparalleled week of learning, jamming, singing, concerts and bluegrass/oldtime camaraderie. Parents, bring your kids and enroll them in World Village while you play music! Students are also encouraged to enroll in any classes found throughout the entire Common Ground curriculum.  See the DCBU Daily Schedule below.
