Camp Woodshed Is A Wrap!
Camp Woodshed was so much fun this year! Thanks to all the Camp Woodshedders, to Sean McMorris and Brandon Marsolo for leading the bands, and to the parents for enrolling your kids and for coming out to support at their final concert.
Week 2 featured campers ages 12 – 16 where they had the opportunity to take workshops on piano extended techniques, guitar pedals, recording and production, and an instrument show & tell. They learned and performed Sunflower by Post Malone, Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay, and Come As You Are by Nirvana.
We’re looking forward to next year!
Week 1 Is A Wrap!
Week 1 of Camp Woodshed was a blast! We’re super impressed with the work the kids put it, and it shows with how well they performed!
The bands learned Lady Madonna by the Beatles, Zombie by The Cranberries, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, and Just Can’t Get Enough by Depeche Mode. Below are some pictures from last week. We’ll see everyone tomorrow to begin Week 2!

We’ll see you there!
ShedFest 2022
Thanks to everyone who came out to ShedFest! ShedFest was held at a great new Atlanta music venue, The Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End, with music inside The Garden Club and the artist market outside in the Wild Heaven lawn area. The music lineup featured four great local bands: Voodoo Visionary, Casual Cadenza, Rujen, and The Norm. There was a little something for everybody with genres spanning from indie to rock to hip-hop to funk!
We look forward to the continual growth of this event for years to come! We raised $1000 for Lanta Gras this year, and we will continue our efforts through ShedFest to provide access to instruments and music lessons for kids in our community. You can donate to Lanta Gras year-round in support of this great initiative!
Recital Recap
Our two big summer recitals are behind us and both of them were such a blast! The Adults Recital at Red Light Cafe featured some killer sets by our four adult ensembles as well as a handful of fantastic solo performers. The Kids & Teens Recital at City Winery was one of our best ever! Our teen bands started the show, and were followed by many great solo performances. It’s always a treat to see the progress our students make each year. Our next performance is the Summer Drum Recital at Waller’s Coffee Shop on July 10th. Can’t wait to see our drummers rock out!
ShedFest 2022 Vendor Booths
ShedFest this year will include an artist market for the first time and we are looking for more vendors to join the market. The booth fee is $150 for a 10’x10′ space to set up and sell goods. Artists, craft-makers, and anyone interested in joining the market should reach out to us at [[email protected]].
Tickets are now available along with plenty of info about ShedFest at – www.shedfestatl.com
