At Pick Along Summer Camp, kids will receive foundational skills from instructors on the same style of acoustic instruments played on the 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings (banjo, guitar, and fiddle). Campers also get to explore the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, learn about the music of Bristol and our region, work on projects with Radio Bristol, and receive instruction in singing, dancing, and more while making new friends. Campers receive the opportunity to hone their skills as a budding musician while busking in Historic Downtown Bristol and will give a final performance for parents at the museum at the end of the week.
No previous musical experience required just an interest in music and a desire to learn more!
