Holy smokes, y'all!

Brian "Papa" Briseno got accepted to the Blue Ridge Banjo Camp!

The camp takes place in Brevard, NC, and is a HUGE opportunity to learn from some of the greatest musicians in modern times.

This camp is hosted and curated by Béla Fleck!

Additional instructors for this year's camp will be Tony Trischka, Kristin Scott Benson, Adam Larrabee, Greg Liszt, and Mark Schatz. Some of these instructors have been major inspirations in Papa's banjo journey, and he's really excited about the prospect of working closely with them.

He is also looking forward to being able to take some time to focus solely on improving his picking while surrounded by so many other banjo players and major professionals.

The only hitch is that travel is going to cost almost as much as tuition, so if you can, please donate to help him reach his goal, which would make all of this possible!
