Andy May @ MerleFestMerleFest
 
MerleFest is the wonderful Americana (or as Doc Watson puts it, "traditional-plus") music festival held each spring in Wilkesboro, NC. (Read more) The festival always has an awe-inspiring lineup, and the setting is spectacular. It's always one of the high points of the year for Andy.
 
Andy will be especially busy at  MerleFest this year. In addition to the MerleFest Youth Showcases, community outreach, the Songwriters Coffeehouse, and a music business workshop, he will be performing a solo set on the Cabin Stage, one of the main stages of the festival.
 
If you've never been to MerleFest, do yourself a favor and consider coming this year. It takes place from April 29 - May 2. Map

He'll teach the basics in his characteristic easy-going style--with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's legendary "guitars of the stars" as a backdrop.
