Voice and All Instruments | Arty Hill | All Levels | Period 1 | Week 1 (July 6-10, 2026)
That’s a great song you sang, never heard it – who did that one ?”
“Merle did !” “Dolly did !” “George did !” “Melba did !”
We’ll be learning great (but lesser-played) songs by all these artists, plus a few others. These will be your jam session “secret weapons” – to surprise fellow players with, and give them something new but classic to jam along to. All levels, bring your instruments, lots of singing !
About the Instructor
From Baltimore, Md to Central Texas, Arty Hill packs the bars and dance floors with his unique brand of modern Honky Tonk. He sings with an “‘everyman’ quality…reminiscent of Johnny Cash.” (Vintage Guitar Magazine). His songs – marrying the soul of classic country with the wry storytelling of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt – have been recorded by the Grammy-nominated Kenny and Amanda Smith Band, Alt-Country pioneer Jason Ringenberg, Rockabilly Queen Bee Marti Brom, and Austin’s Texas Sapphires, among others.
With his band the Long Gone Daddys, he has released 8 full length recordings and a Hank Williams tribute EP. and his songs have appeared in two seasons of “Gun it with Bennie Spies” on the Sportsman Channel and in the 2017 movie “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore” starring Elijah Wood. Arty is also co-founder of the Hank Williams Songwriting Workshop in Montgomery, AL., and an instructor at Augusta Heritage Classic Country week in Elkins, WVa since 2017.
