*What's a "Learn 'n Share"?  Based on the idea that we all have something to learn from each another, we decided that instead of a formal workshop taught by an expert, we will have a time and location for grouped instruments, where players of any level of expertise can get peer instruction and advice on new riffs, chords or songs.  It's simple: share what you know, and learn something new with others who play the same instrument as you!  

All performances Thursday through Sunday will be on our outdoor stage, weather permitting.  The George Community Hall concert room will not be available for use, due to our ongoing roof replacement project, which is expected to be complete by the end of October.
