On Sunday June 25th, Summerfolk will host the sixth installment of the monthly Music Biz Tune Up workshop series at the Bleeding Carrot in downtown Owen Sound. In demand fiddler Rosalyn Dennett and guitar/banjo wizard Rob McLaren will provide performance tips and give direct feedback on participant performances.

The June 25th performance workshop will give participants the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals and get personalized feedback.
