WUMB - Winter Weekend

Guitar, banjo, mandolin, mountain dulcimer, singing and songwriting.

WUMB will host the first ever WUMB Winter Music Weekend on February 15 -17, 2013, (President’s Day Weekend), in Groton, Massachusetts. This will be a 'hands-on' New England acoustic music retreat. Come for camaraderie and classes, concerts and great guided and freestyle jams with world-class players and teachers including Lui Collins, Susie Burke, David Surrette, Lorraine and Bennett Hammond, and John Doershuk.

Lodging and six meals are included. Registration will open at 4:00 on Friday afternoon. Dinner is at six. We’re due to leave the campus on Sunday by 3:00. Groton is about an hour northwest of downtown Boston. The camp is in a beautifully wooded area, and facilities are comfortable. Most rooms are doubles. The bathrooms are shared. The food is hearty, and the desserts are legendary. Walking between buildings is on fairly level ground, give or take possible snow banks! Oh — and there are several working fireplaces. Space is limited, and we encourage you to sign up soon.
