For most musicians, there is nothing better than playing in a band, but there is a growing subset of musicians who prefer to play solo. For a long time, these musos would play with backing tracks, but as technology evolved and looper pedals got better, more musicians changed from backing tracks to live loops. If you’ve never tried looping before, or want to improve your looping chops, join us for this free workshop.

Some popular Alternative Folk artists include Billy Bragg, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams, Mrs. Greenbird, and Victoria Williams.
