Joe Val’s Vendor Expo provides you an ideal opportunity to meet and support many of the New England luthiers and shop owners who support bluegrass music in the northeast.  We have invited a number of independent luthiers from throughout the area to share with you their unique designs and craftsmanship.  Feel free to try out different instruments, discuss a repair, or ask questions about what they are aiming to achieve with their instrument designs.  Many of the area’s most supportive shop owners will also be back providing everything you need for late night jamming, instructional material to help you improve your skill level and enjoyment, and instruments made by national manufacturers. You can even learn about area music camps and festivals, have that minor instrument repair or setup done while you are enjoying the shows, explore types of pickups that will enhance and amplify your sound, or purchase some photographs from area artists for your home. 

The Expo will be open on the lower level in and directly outside the Ashland Room on Friday from 5:00-8:00pm, on Saturday from 10:00am-8:00pm, and again on Sunday from 10:00am-4:00pm.

We hope you will come down and visit with Bluegrasstime.com, Born Again Basses, Campanella Strings, Darwin Davidson Photography, Eastman Strings, Lou Roten Music, Macica Mandolins, Mockingbird Music, Music Camps North, NS Design, Patkus & Weston Guitars, Upton Bass and Vermont Violins.  Deep Relief Massage Therapy will be filling in for In Good Hands this year, manning the massage chair in the lower lobby.  Let Jess help you work the kinks out from those late nights jamming or listening to this great American music.
