Registration information

We are sponsoring a fiddle weekend in Asheville, North Carolina. Cost for the weekend is $290 [hotels and meals not included]. It will consist of 14 hours of intense fiddle instruction, starting at 7pm until 10pm on Friday night, resuming Saturday morning at 9am-12pm and from 2pm - 6pm and again on Sunday morning 10am-2pm. The Workshop will be held at the Movement and Learning Center [above the French Broad Food Co-Op [90 Biltmore Avenue, Asheville, NC; phone 828-255-7650]

Directions to the venue are as follows:

Take I-240 to Exit 4B, Go South on Charlotte Street and at the intersection of Charlotte and Biltmore make a right on Biltmore. Go through one traffic light and the Co-Op is a large yellow building on the right. The Movement and Learning Center is upstairs.

This workshop is geared for intermediate and advanced fiddle students only and is limited to 15 participants. Our focus for this weekend will be learning to play backup/fill licks, constructing breaks and working with a singer. We will probably concentrate on a few classic cuts from the Bluegrass Album Band collection for the Bluegrass Weekends and some of the Bob Wills classics for the Swing Weekend in November. The Twin Fiddle Weekend will feature some great twin fiddle instruction with Bobby and Aubrey Haynie - those of you that have mandolins - bring them! Aubrey may do a couple of hours of mandolin instruction if there is enough interest.

Asheville, North Carolina and the surrounding area is beautiful and we encourage you to bring your family and friends with you. From hiking, rafting and biking to driving the Blue Ridge Parkway to visiting the many, many galleries of fine artisans in the areas. There are plenty of activities both outdoors and indoors that will entertain all tastes.

After registration, we will send you a list of hotels that are near the workshop site or you can go on-line and find many choices to suit all price ranges from the beautiful Grove Park Inn and the Biltmore Estate to the more budget conscience accommodations. All persons must be at least 16 years old to register or have an adult/guardian with you.

Phone 828-649-3399 for more information or to pay by phone.

For over 50 years Bobby Hicks has set the standard for fiddlers everywhere through a variety of styles. He reached national prominence in the 1950's with Bill Monroe and the 1960's and 70's with various country and western bands (most notably The Judy Lynn Show from 1963-1970). For the past twenty-three years he played with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder and Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys as well as guest appearances with various bluegrass acts, such as Earl Scruggs, J.D. Crowe and the New South and The Blue Ridge Symphony.
