American Roots Weekend 2024 : COUNTDOWN!
It's time to meet the teachers of the Workshops
We're so happy to welcome Jane Rothfield for the first time : she will lead the fiddle workshop!

Janie’s Fiddle Class is for fiddlers who can play at a medium-faster tempo, are looking to get to the next level in their playing AND want to add a variety of exciting new tunes (from VA, Kentucky, North Carolina and a few of Janie’s own original tunes) to their repertoire! Janie will focus on the nuances in bowing and rhythm as well as techniques to improve your tone, drive, creativity and musicality-and above all how to have more FUN with old time music.

Time will also be spent learning how to play “out of the melody” using melodic variations, harmony and chords, singing while fiddling AND how to play with a clawhammer banjo player (Janie is a great banjo player too).

We're so happy to welcome Annick Odom again : she will lead the singing workshop with fresh material!

Annick, a Belgian-American musician born and raised in West Virginia, is a singer, songwriter, and double bassist. Deeply inspired by traditional Appalachian music, she brings fresh arrangements to old ballads and fiddle tunes. She recently completed an apprenticeship with master singer and fiddler Gerry Milnes in Elkins, West Virginia. Annick has performed at festivals in the US, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, both as a solo artist and with bands Linen of Words and Sweet Joe Pye. Together, they showcase a diverse repertoire that blends contemporary and old-time tradition.

Come sing with us and learn a lot about Appalachian ballads!
