Why We Gather Together and What To Expect...
Deep Learning: Each day you will experience engaging instructional sessions, history and blues storytelling - because we believe our stories change the world.
History and Culture: We’ve heard your requests and are adding in elements to further ground this virtual experience in the rich culture of the North Mississippi Hill Country.
Intergenerational Learning: Our instructors run the gamut from historians, harmonica and blues elders, to the vanguard of the next generation of musicians.
For the past 10 years, our Hill Country Harmonica Clinic has attracted Harpsuckers from near and far, from Georgia to Germany to pilgrimage to Foxfire Ranch in Oxford, Mississippi. However, in lieu of the global pandemic and in the interest of our collective well-being, this is why we've opted to turn our gathering virtual this year.
