When you talk with the artists, guitar instructors, and organizers of the Crown Guitar Festivalin Bigfork, Mont., there’s one subject that comes up again and again: the maturity and skill of the young scholarship students who travel from across the country to learn from the greats.Since 2010, the Crown of the Continent Guitar Foundation has held a week-long guitar workshop and concert-series at Flathead Lake Lodge.
Every year the non-profit organization also awards dozens of scholarships for young and gifted guitar students. Josh Achiron, Solomon Hicks, and Emily Elbert joined 26 other current and former scholarship students for live performances and impromptu jam sessions. Every single one of them lives and breathes guitar.
The 2015 Crown Guitar Workshop & Festivalruns from August 25 through September 6 at the Flathead Lake Lodge in Bigfork, MT.
