$50
Chris Henry and the Hardcore Grass draw from the best years of traditional bluegrass to pick out some of the most intense songs and tunes. Whether it’s a national festival or a small town event, Chris Henry and the Hardcore Grass will bring a powerful show full of memorable moments to diverse audiences. Founded in 2012, the group has risen quickly to be one of the most popular bluegrass groups in Nashville.
Chris has been described by the International Bluegrass Music Association as the premiere Monroe-style mandolinist of his generation. After receiving a Song of the Year nomination for writing the song “Walkin’ West to Memphis”, his skill as a songwriter has been receiving national attention as well. Thousands of terrestrial and Sirius satellite radio listeners have been hearing Chris’s original songs and tunes for years. The Hardcore Grass provides a perfect backing for his brand of hard-hitting bluegrass and nail-biting intensity that he brings to his picking and singing. His unique brand of bluegrass has been known to excite national and international audiences from front porches to the Grand Old Opry.
Workshops:
Chris Henry – Mand0lin – Christopher’s mandolin workshop will be open for all levels. Important concepts that will help students to work towards comprehension of style, speed training, learning by-ear, scale and pattern exercises, Monroe style, minimalism, blues, double-stops, accompaniment, and harmony are among the subjects he likes to focus on. A question and answer period will also be offered.
Nick DiSebastian – Guitar – Nick’s workshop works in in the same way He approaches practice, starting with right hand technique as a means to get acquainted with producing an intentional tone. From there we dive into fretboard exploration. With the right and left hand tuned up, we move onto applying learned concepts to repertoire. Along with focusing on content, we will also focus on processes, including critical listening, internalizing music, and efficient practice techniques. Attention will be given to both lead and rhythm playing. My goal is to leave every student feeling inspired and in touch with their personal musical expression.
Bryan McDowell – Fiddle – In the Fiddle class, we’ll be familiarizing ourselves with some different styles and approaches to fiddling, learning supporting roles for collaborative/band playing, tackling some of the thought processes behind improvisation, and studying technique and the tools to help any player reach their personal potential. Some time may also be taken to suggest good listening material for the dedicated musician. Come prepared for a positive, enjoyable experience!
Cory Walker – Banjo – Cory Walker focuses on many traditional as well as progressive ideas to help connect the students with the material while allowing the workshop to be guided by the majority’s interests and curiosities. His teaching style often includes teaching concepts and ideas students have not thought about, and will never forget.
