| Dear Friends of Fiddleheads Music Camp: |  Come join us for our annual Fiddleheads Acoustic Music Camp September 9-11. We are returning to Camp Methodios on Clement Pond in Contoocook, New Hampshire. The new clean, comfortable accommodations at Camp Methodios were a hit last year. The camp is set on 191 acres and is approximately 20 minutes west of Concord, N.H. It offers us a perfect place to play music in a beautiful setting. There are modern sleeping accommodations for camp attendees in either the bunkhouses or at the inn.
 
See more photos from 2010 here.
As always, days at the camp will be filled with educational small group workshops and the evenings will be for performing, jamming and having fun! It will be a weekend of good music, good company, good food and lots of laughter. We hope you will be able to join us.

| Featured Guest Coach |
 | |
Bruce Molsky
fiddle, guitar, banjo
|
We are very excited to have Bruce Molsky this year as our featured guest coach. He stands today as the premier old-time fiddler in the world, the defining virtuoso of Appalachia's timeless folk music traditions.
In addition to a prolific solo career, performing on fiddle, guitar, banjo and vocals, Molsky frequently joins genre-busting supergroups, like the Grammy-nominated Fiddlers Four, and Mozaik, with Hungarian Nikola Parov, and Celtic giant Donal Lunny. He was on Nickel Creek's farewell tour, and performs in a trio with Scottish fiddler Aly Bain and Sweden's great Ale Moller.
Great fiddlers ask him to teach at their fiddle camps, including Alasdair Fraser, Jay Ungar, and Mark O'Connor, who says Molsky has
"a mystical awareness of how to bring out the new in something that
is old."
