Clinic/Workshop Information

Barbara Martin and I have developed a joint vocal / guitar / instrumental workshop that covers improvisation techniques, chord substitutions and how a vocalist needs to interact with a rhythm section as a few of the topics. We generally follow that with a duo or trio concert in the evening to round out the day's events.
