What we’d like to see is a bunch of folks pickin’ and grinnin’ ...and that includes banjo jokes.
If you have a twist on that old “perfect pitch” gag, we’re sure ready to hear it!
If you can pick, plunk, strum, frail, clawhammer, pluck, bite or bow a banjo,we’d like to see you do it! No entry fee.
If you can yodel, holler, hogcall, clog, stomp, rap or testify at the same time... well, we dare ya.
Now here’s the best part.
Our sponsor, Deering Banjo, has donated one of their famous Good Time Banjos, which is fast becoming the most popular model in the world, and we’re gonna raffle it off.
$2 a ticket, or 3 tix for $5.
The drawing will be held on the Main Stage, after the Sunday morning Gospel show (need not be present to win).
If you think that’s a sneaky way to get folks into church... well maybe, but you don’t have to be there to win.
You can sleep in, and we’ll ship it to you if you’ll pick up the tab for that, but first, you gotta buy a ticket!
All proceeds go to the Americana Project (folk music in the schools) and the Sisters Folk Festival.
Come on over to the Picking Central & have a blast playing with other enthusiasts!

About the Deering Banjo
This is a nice, light, Goodtime Open-Back model you
can take to the beach or throw in the backseat in case
you get stuck in traffic and want to pick a little to
lighten up the commute.
It's got a warm, folksy tone, and Eric Darling of the
legendary Weavers and Rooftop Singers says he takes
his everywhere. I saw him playing it in Tucson, so at
least we know he takes it to the desert. |
