Banjo Hangout: festival news

Thanks to Tom Hanway for the news that the Banjo Hangout has just issued an e-newsletter (accessible if you sign up to receive it) with details of bluegrass festivals and banjo camps in the US this summer, including links to the event websites.

Heading the list is an event already in the BIB calendar: the IBMM's ROMP (River of Music Party) at Owensboro, KY, a month from now. Also listed are events in California, Massachussetts, Michigan, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The Acoustic Music Camp at Dallas, TX (6-8 Aug. 2009) has a particularly high-powered set of teachers.

In addition, the Banjo Hangout is opening the festival season with a sale: 20% off its very nice range of T-shirts and caps. Check out its sister sites, the Fiddle Hangout, Reso Hangout, and Flatpicker Hangout, as well.
