Parents, are you starting to look towards summer camp opportunities? If your child plays an instrument, Blues Kids Camp is coming to Music City Over the past year, I’ve been working with Fernando Jones, a performer and teacher at Columbia College in Chicago, who has created these camps in seven U.S. cities, London and Italy. He’s been doing this for over 25 years and the best part is that it’s free for kids ages 12-18. It will be held during the week of July 5th and primarily at Tennessee State University, but one day will be spent at The Larry Keeton Theater. See the website for more details and to sign up.
