This 4th Annual Dream Blues Camp will run October 7th to October 9th, 2024 in Penticton. This blues music teaching event is sponsored by the Dream Café, our gem of a music venue here in Penticton. The camp brings together award winning artists to provide pro tips on song writing, improving your vocals, several blues guitar stylings, bass guitar, or blues chops on the harmonica.
This event will provide students with lessons, in small classes, from award-winning Canadian blues performers. Students will choose an Artist for their lessons for the three days of the camp. Availability with the artists will be on a first to register basis. Early registration will give the best chance to get the instructor of your choice. There will be a chance to play music with fellow musicians in jam sessions. Learn alongside some of Canada’s best Blues Musicians at one of Canada’s favourite small venues!
2024 Dream Blues Camp Instructors: Kirby Barber, Dave Barber, Yanti, Steve Kozak and Paul Pigat!
There will be three days of learning with lots of time for jamming with other students. Each day instructors will give a lesson to small groups of students working on stylings while revealing tricks of the trade. All meals are provided as part of your registration. After dinner on Monday and Tuesday evening the instructors will put on a rocking performance on the Dream Café stage. After lunch on Wednesday, students will be invited to perform with their classmates, or individually, on the Dream Café stage before the camp breaks up late afternoon. Talk about great bragging rights with your friends! Students are welcome to bring guests to the meals and shows (tickets required).
