New this year is the night called 101 Guitars on Aug. 30, when anyone who plays can bring their guitar to the lake- shore and play a medley of Beatles songs with folks from the workshop.
“It’s going to be pretty special,” Fef- fer said.
Rivers, who lives in Eureka, under- stands the opportunity she’s been given at this workshop, especially as a scholar- ship recipient.
“I’ve never done anything like this. I grew up not too far from Nashville, so I’ve had some good experiences, but never anything that’s a weeklong inten- sive to hone your craft and then get to see all these amazing people. There’s really nothing like it in the country that I know of.”
