These people that I love dearly won Momentum Awards today and I could not be happier. They have momentum and I’m glad it was recognized. Special shout out to presenter Molly Tuttle who gave away awards with panache. #wob2017 #ibma #caseymademelaughandtristanmademecry (at Raleigh Convention Center)

They told me I had to be in the camp photo and I ended up blocking Wayne Alderman with my giant face. Dammit. Sorry, Wayne. I just love this band of misfits more than I can tell you. #nashvillemandolincamp #nashvilleacousticcamps #mandolin #mandolincamp #anneandhollycutclassbuticantbemadatthem (at Fiddlestar)

Morning meeting. Camp mascot, engage. #sirwinstoncup #itstimeforthesayingofthethings #tacosaturday #bostonterrier #bostonterriercult #squishyfacecrew (at Fiddlestar)

We take our campers to @cartervintageguitars because Walter literally wrote the book on mandolins and Christie does everything else. You won’t find a better second home. Duffs. Ellises. Gilchrists. Pavas. Red Diamonds. Loars. And a whole lotta love. In case you can’t decide, @honkytonkheather will sell you a hat. #nashvilleacousticcamps #nashvillemandolincamp #mandolin #nashville #cartervintageguitars (at Carter Vintage Guitars)

Oh hey. He’s pretty stoked about the impending arrival of the Nashville Mandolin Campers. Also he got a baff. Good times. #sirwinstoncup #bostonterriercult #nashvilleacousticcamps #nashvillemandolincamp #bostonterrier #mandolin (at Fiddlestar)

The Clawhammer Scream. It’s coming. Nashville Clawhammer Camp registration opens October 1 at 9am. We’re ratcheting up the awesomeness by adding Rachel Eddy to the mix of the regulars you love. Because we love you. clawhammercamp dot com #nashvilleacousticcamps #banjo #oldtime #clawhammer #nashville #thescream #edvardmunchbanjo (at Fiddlestar)

Good morning. My mom is now a tropical storm, poised to turn into a hurricane. It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows her. #maria (at Denver Art Museum)

Oh, hi. This camp has just a few spots left. It’s bluegrass banjo camp and it’s going to be fantastic. It’s in December, just when you’re going to be desperate to get together with other banjo enthusiasts and spend the weekend talking about banjos and playing banjos and learning more banjo things. In Nashville. With some of the greatest banjo players in all the land. www.nashvillebanjocamp.com #nashvilleacousticcamps #banjo #bluegrass #nashvillebanjocamp #charliecushman #gregcahill #jenskoch #jeffscroggins (at Fiddlestar)

#bts from the #fiddlestaradultbeginnercamp staff concert. #vog_cairo by @fluevog and #hairlights by @cleliahart 💃🏻 😉 Backup guitar and mandolin by @tylerandal and @rossholmesfiddle respectively. I love playing waltzes, but a good breakdown every now and then is good for the spirit… #fiddle #fiddlecamp #nashvilleacousticcamps #sayoldmancanyouplaythefiddle (at The Violin Shop)

I’m probably a little biased but I think my recording group at #fiddlestaradultbeginnercamp was maybe the best of the groups. I mean, they slayed Angelina Baker - droning string backups and a slight ritard at the end so… pretty much they’re pro. #fiddle #nashvilleacousticcamps #fiddlecamp (at Fiddlestar)
