NimbleFingers Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Workshop

NimbleFingers Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Workshop Come join us for this amazing acoustic Music Workshop and Festival in Sorrento, BC, Canada

Nimblefingers, BC's Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Workshop: Spend an inspiring, challenging, and joyous week with others who share your passion for bluegrass and old time music! Each August we're proud to host what used to be called the BC Bluegrass Workshop in Sorrento, BC—about 5 hours from Vancouver by car between Kamloops and Salmon Arm. Now in our 26th year, we provide a friendly and noncompet

itive environment for everyone from beginners to advanced players, with ample opportunity for group learning, electives, organized jam sessions, and many other spontaneous activities. There are student concerts, band scrambles, instructor concerts, campground picking sessions, and old time dances. We hear from many of our regulars that NimbleFingers is what they look forward to the most each year. We offer two separate weeks of workshops, and many of our attendees stay for both! Our home for the workshops, Sorrento Centre, is a beautiful retreat by the shores of Shuswap Lake operated by the Anglican Church of Canada. The site contains two lodges, cabins, and lots of campsites; other facilities include a covered amphitheatre, a private beach, and beautiful trails. The kitchen specializes in fine home-style cooking, now using fresh ingredients from their own organic garden! Sorrento Centre is also the location of our annual NimbleFingers Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Festival.
