Events for June at the new Red Sky Stage in Bay Harbor 

in case you have not heard yet, i have moved into a new location at 801 Front Street, Suite C/D, in Bay Harbor.  After a careful search, I am very happy to be in our beautiful  new home.  Bay Harbor is equally exited to have us here.   I expect to have occupancy approval from the county next week so it is time to launch  an exciting new schedule for the rest of June.  Without any further ado, let the festivities begin!
 

Thursday, June 20 and Every Thursday, 7-10 pm  Fun Blues Harmonica Class

Instructor:  Steve August
It may be a tiny instrument but the Blues Harmonica is BIG on sound and style! Practice the basic moves and   patterns  that bring your harmonica to life, including sweet single note melodies, foot tapping rhythms, blues scales and riffs and bending note secrets.  Get an intro to major harmonica players and their styles, from the early originators to the contemporary players.  Small class size insures that you get lots of individual attention.  

No prior musical experience is needed.  Any harmonica in the key of "C" is acceptable for class.  Open to ALL harmonica players from raw beginners to legendary bluesfolk..

Cost for six sessions, $145.  For more information or to register, call Steve August at  231-838-6419.  Email alljazz@chartermi.net.
