Dobro Workshop with Glen Crain

Glen Crain has been around music all his life. He started playing drums as a small child, and as a teenager learned to play bass. At the age of 25, he started learning DOBRO and lap steel. Glen has performed with numerous bands over the years and enjoys all types of music. But, his passion is bluegrass. He spent ten years with a Greenville, SC based bluegrass band called The New Dixie Storm. Playing with Adkins and Loudermilk is like getting together with old friends and playing music. These guys are fun. Ive always loved family harmony, and they sing together like family, a refreshing new/old sound, says Glen. Glenn will be leading a dobro workshop during the Jubilee from 1:00 to 2:00 in Room 4.
