banjo meets mandolin workshop

We had so much fun with the Mike Marshall Mandolin Workshop that we're teaming up with Mandolin Cafe and doing it again! 

This time we're switching it up, it's going to be a celebration of all things mando and  banjo. So, Mike Marshall will be joining Tony Trischka for another free online workshop we're calling "Banjo Meets Mandolin"! Viewers will be treated to a fresh look at the banjo and the mandolin with some playing, some teaching and some discussion with two masters at the peak of their abilities.

The event will stream live on April 23rd at 6 PM (Pacific Daylight Time) and will be once again moderated by Mandolin Cafe Founder Scott Tichenor.

Join us on Google + or watch the live stream at http://AcademyofBluegrass.com or http://www.mandolincafe.com. See you there!
