East Tennessee > Steve Kaufman Guitar Camp Concerts

tommy-emmanuel-onstage.jpgSteve Kaufman's guitar camp is in session at Maryville College. Kaufman is a three-time winner of the National Flatpicking Championship, has numerous CDs, and founded this annual music camp that draws noted guitarists from around the world.

Check the schedule to find your favorite. The last night is always fun as they hand out awards for the best students, with each one playing a few songs. I'd also recommend the Thursday night show with the Italian guitarist Beppe Gambatta. Beppe is consistently good year after year.

This is a little video (2.1 MB) I took last year of Australian guitar player Tommy Emmanuel drumming his guitar. Emmanuel is a mad man. See him if you get the chance.

Kamp web site indicates that a flatpicking camp will be held June 12-19. Is this correct? and how do you sign up? There does not seem to be contact info on the site. Phone #? e-mail?

Found this site when I "Googled" my own name only to discover the name isn't only mine(surprise, surprise).

The article presents an interesting point of view that helps explain some of my own feelings of guilt. Is this rational used to "exploit" the liberal mindset by our conservative brethern?
