Dick Weissman is a tremendously multifaceted talent: a fantastic banjo and guitar player, a brilliant storyteller, a great composer, writer, teacher... he could be on stage a week and you wouldn't get bored. We'll only have a few hours with him to scratch the surface, so don't miss a minute.

Dick's career has ranged from his early days in The Journeymen with John Phillips and Scott McKenzie, through years of doing studio work in NYC, teaching in a wide range of settings, and writing numerous books, all the while actively performing and recording. His publications include best-selling books on the music business, a fascinating history of folk music, and quite a few instructional books for banjo and guitar. There's only room here for the tip of the iceberg - you'll find much more info at www.dickweissman.com.

From Dick's captivating music to his fascinating and insightful stories from a lifetime in the music business, this will be an evening to remember.

Opening the show will be Seattle singer/songwriter Sarah Sample, who has lately been hauling in awards from the national festival circuit. "I knew was listening to a singer filled with confident clarity," Vance Gilbert writes of Sarah, "I knew I was listening to a singer that can make big things happen with a whisper, and do it all to material that was provocative, clearly crafted, and smart." www.sarahsample.com
