Cabin Fever 2006 is going on in Hampton Virginia (very close to Norfolk/Virginia Beach area) this weekend. March 3-5
Website, http://www.cabinfeverpickinparty.com/
It is billed as the biggest picking party on the east coast. I went last year and had a blast. Thousands of people decend on a Holiday Inn and there are non stop bluegrass bands playing in the auditorium from morning to late at night plus mandolin, guitar, fiddle, bass, banjo and vocal workshops going on.
But the best part is the picking. Every (and I mean EVERY) room in the place is booked and there are jam sessions going on in almost every room, hallway, attrium, heck you walk into the ice machine room and there's 10 people crammed in there jamming away.
Some of the best players I have every seen where there. Little kids 10 years old could fiddle and pick like nothing I had ever seen. I have no interest in the event but had a LOT of fun last year and highly recommend it to anyone who likes Bluegrass, Accoustic String music or Old Time.
SEE YOU THERE! :)
