Working with The Freight & Salvage's "Take the Stage"
I'll be working with The Freight & Salvage's "Take the Stage" to teach a few sessions in the Fall. The Freight is a center of acoustic music in the Bay Area and I'm excited to be affiliated with them. In addition to their new facility, they are ramping up their educational offerings including this great program that works with groups towards a performance on the Freight stage.
