WUMB sponsors the Acoustic Music Camps program for adults, featuring instruction from some of the finest performing musicians working today. Throughout the year, campers come together to learn, share, and celebrate our love for this music.
Instructors are selected not only for their excellence as players, singers, songwriters and performers, but also for their teaching skills. All of these influences, combined with those that campers bring from their own musical backgrounds result in a wonderfully diverse body of work within the Camps community. The songs that you will hear on this Internet channel are the campers’ own recordings. Every performer has attended at least one Acoustic Music Camp.
The Acoustic Music Camps program offers campers the time, the experience and the advice of some of the best folk and acoustic players and songwriters around, both campers and instructors. If you want information about attending any of our folk music camps, visit the SAMW Web site, , or contact us at samw@umb.edu.
