Grateful Deadhead Ensemble

• Tuesdays, June 25 to August 12, 6:30 to 8:30
  • Eight classes, plus one gig (nine meetings total)
• We’ll have classt at FUSION
  • 700 – 708 1st St. NW , Albuquerque, NM
  • https://www.fusionnm.org/
  • +1.505.766.9412
•  $350 (This works out to $20 an hour.)
• All Instruments/singers welcome!
  • Guitar players – Acoustic guitars are HIGHLY recommended. We’ll figure out amplification needs as the class rolls along.
  • Drummers – There won’t be a back line at our practice space. Hand percussion instruments are HIGHLY recommended.
  • Keyboardists – Jason will be providing a keyboard for the band to use. Obviously, should we have more than one keyboard player, there could potentially be some challenges. But, nothing that I think will hold us back.  Please contact Jason at 773-369-8268 (phone/text) or jason@knowingtrees.com if you plan on playing keyboards.
• Worried that you’re not good enough to play? Worried that you’re too good?
  • This will be a multi-level class. Everyone will be asked to go to the edge of their abilities. Now, that edge will be very individual, as some folks are just beginnng and some folks have a lot of experience. Jason is confident that, no matter your experience level, you’ll walk out of class with a) something to work on, musically and b) a spring in your step from sharing music with such an positive community.
• This summers’ session will culminate with a gig in the second week of August. Details are still being worked out. Thank you for your patience.
