Workshops or Showcases

Hoppin John is proud to present this year's workshops with the generous help of the Chatham County Arts Council. These workshops are more like "Showcases" in that they are opportunities to see some of the area's finest musicians in an up-close, living-room setting. The sessions will not be hands-on teaching workshops, but instead, round-robin tune playing with opportunities to ask questions.
