Customer Reviews for NashCamp Music Camps

I went last year for the first time and it was amazing. I will make this a yearly tradition. It was wonderful to be with other bluegrass musicians and learn more about my instrument and bluegrass. The teachers were awesome and so encouraging. It was well planned - plenty to do but not so packed that you can not also rest and enjoy the time. Do not hesitate to attend - all levels welcomed with open arms. Hope to meet you there this year!

I was 55 years old in 2009 when I attended NashCamp the first of 3 times. I was not a bluegrasser, but was immediately received graciously by the wonderful Cindy Sinclair and her staff of instructors. The things I learned, the musical instruction, the jams w/ new friends, the nightly concerts given by the pros and the amazing Mad Platter inspired food were more than I had expected. It was a rebirth of my love of stringed instruments. I changed classes all 3 times that I attended and got great professional instruction each time. Cindy Sinclair has a winner in NashCamp. GO SEE FOR YOURSELF! You won't be disappointed.

Life-changing immersion in the music, surrounded by encouraging bluegrass legends and a community of campers that quickly becomes an extended family. Star-quality instructors, great instructor concerts, jams, electives, and the opportunity to end the week by playing on the stage of the world-famous Station Inn.

Nashcamp is a fun musical learning experience. The facilities and instructors are great. The fact that class size is maintained at small numbers insures that the instructor can pay attention to each students needs. Also, the food is top notch! I give Nashcamp 6 stars out of 5!

The Nashcamp banjo retreat one of my favorite annual events. I've attended 6 of the last 7 years. The week long bluegrass camps are a lot of fun, too, I've been to a couple of those -- focused on learning to play/sing bluegrass in a band setting. Awesome, awesome camps -- 10/10 stars.

Nashcamp was a life changing experience for me. Not only did it improve my ability to share my thoughts and feelings through music and put me in front of some key music industry insiders, it also brought some lifelong friends into my life. It's a cathardic, educational and very fun experience I recommend to anyone who wants to learn to better express themselves through songwriting or music. I loved it so much, I've been three times and hope to go again in the future.

If you ever dreamed of playing in a bluegrass band with all the instruments, then NashCamp is the ticket. The instructors are top notch and the jams with fiddle, mandolin, dobro, guitar, banjo, and bass go late into the night. And the food is outstanding. There is no better way to spend a week.

There’s a distinct reason that the majority of Nashcamp attendees are repeat students. The entire experience is thoroughly enjoyable. From the recording artist Instructor level and small class sizes, to the lodging/facilities and the gourmet cuisine offerings at each meal. Solid friendships are secured, personal interactions with instructors are fruitful, and evening performances and student jam sessions are only exceeded by the graduation night performances at the famous Station Inn with bands formed early in the week. Value for the dollar, it’s the country’s best bluegrass camp.
Try a week, and you’ll want to return...
