Happy Traum

Frets & Refrains is for musicians and music lovers of ALL ages and ALL levels in a non – competitive, relaxing camp environment in the beautiful Catskills mountains Spend a week with like-minded folk, singing, strumming, writing, reflecting, and philosophizing on the possibilities of music. Added to this sympathetic environment, we have some of the finest musicians available to share their experience and insight, and a fantastic body of attendees, who never cease to amaze with their enthusiasm, breadth of knowledge, and development. SO much to choose from! Master classes with RICHARD THOMPSON in both Guitar and Songwriting are open to everyone. You can also immerse yourself in Guitar with guitarist/performer/teacher HAPPY TRAUM & MARTIN SIMPSON. For those needing help with those tough RT chords ZAK HOBBS breaks it down in his Guitar Circle. We welcome the incredible singer songwriter JILL SOBULE & TEDDY THOMPSON as well as legendary Celtic Guitarist, TONY MCMANUS. In addition, SLOAN WAINWRIGHT gives heart-filled encouragement to campers in Singing and Performance for both proficient singers and those who would like to be. Plus specialty workshops! Tune up your Guitar Maintenance with BOBBY EICHORN who also teaches Beginning Guitar and Songwriting. In the evenings JACK THOMPSON hosts a fantastic Open Mic available to everyone. The final night of Frets & Refrains enjoy a concert with Richard Thompson and all the staff… after which Jack wraps camp up with a super fun Dance Party! So join us for a week of music, swimming, hiking, yoga, films, open mic, campfires, and jamming under the stars - plus great food. No wonder Frets & Refrains always sells out!
