The camp is designed for students age 12-18 with an
intermediate proficiency in guitar, bass, harmonica, drums or
vocals who have an interest in the blues. Students will
pick a band name and a song to rehearse during the week, and
perform on Friday at the Gene Harris band shell for family and
friends. An "All-Star" band will be selected
to play on Sunday at the Boise Blues Society picnic before an
audience of 250 people.
Ben Burdick will be the primary guitar instructor. Patrick
(Po) O'Hara will guide students in guitar, harp, bass and
vocals. Scott Reusser, a well-known member of many
Boise bands, will handle percussion.
The resident fee is only $51
thanks to generous support from the Idaho Commission on the
Arts. The non-resident fee is $78.50.
Scholarships are available.
