Whether you want to learn more about finding harmony parts, feel stronger about holding
harmonies, be more confident in your vocal technique, or just enjoy singing in harmony in an old

listening, blending and making harmonic choices.

After the workshop, there will be intimate performances in Phan Gear’s vibey art space. Bobcat Opossum will be opening the night with their signature blend of bluegrass and folk inspired songs featuring

The main event begins at 4:30 pm with our touring guest, Evie Ladin, as she will bring the polyrhythmic heat of her clawhammer banjo style and resonant voice to the Phan Gear stage for a unforgettable performance.
