Bluegrass Camp
For those inclined to have a more “hands on” experience at the bluegrass festival there is a Bluegrass Festival Music Camp being held a couple days before the show starts.
So grab your bluegrass instrument of choice and head over to Targhee a few days early to get your jam on with your favorite musical celebrities before the show starts. The camp focuses on individual instrumental skills, group playing and of course jamming! The views are spectacular, the food is wonderful, the instructors are top notch and the aura of playing bluegrass below the Grand in the heart of the Tetons is like nothing you’ve ever experienced! We here at TargheeMusic agree…if you’re into bluegrass, this is an experience of a lifetime!
