  • Jam with the band – enjoy multiple chances to jam with Nu-Blu throughout the week.
  • Workshops – Nu-Blu will be hosting workshops throughout the week (fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass, mandolin, vocal, playing as a band, the importance of tuning by Peterson Tuners)

We are excited about the variety of workshops that will be offered this year, from each instrument, to band workshops, even some songwriting tips. A little something for everyone, and of course have some great jams too!
