Jeff Horton talks to the crowd at the Grass Roots Learning Tent

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!

After hours, you’ll find the tent packed with pickers late into the night.

"We've been going to Grey Fox for 25 years ... Our sons now bring their wives and now ... finally, a granddaughter will be coming! We meet up with friends from Saranac Lake and Vermont as a 3 generation crew. We love camping together, the wonderful bluegrass music, and it's spin offs. This is "family" in the truest sense. We appreciate the wonderful atmosphere, the chance to all be together sharing the music we love, as well as the indescribable experience. Thank you for staying the course and hanging in there for us."
