Bill Keith performs at the Grass Roots Learning TentGrowing in popularity each year, the Grass Roots Tent is the gathering place for amateur and semi-professional musicians alike who want to improve their playing. We offer free, hands-on learning sessions in banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass and vocals taught by top players and teachers including Bill Keith, Ron Thomason, Mike Bub, Mary Maguire, Jeff Horton and others. This user-friendly setting is all about participation, so bring your instruments and jump right in!
