Common Fence Music presented an afternoon of four free simultaneous roots music workshops on April 4, 2009; each workshop lead by a member of The Wiyos. Above are photos from three of the four workshops.

The Workshops:
   Piedmont Blues Fingerpicking Style with Parrish Ellis
   Lap Steel and Early Dobro Guitar with Teddy Weber
   Old-Time Bass with Joseph Dejarnette
   Vaudeville Techniques with Michael Farcas (no photos)

Woodshed with The Wiyos was made possible with a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

This event is part of a larger Common Fence Music incentive to bring American Roots Music to the youth of Newport County as well as other areas of the state.
