All Instruments | Thomas Bryan Eaton & Miss Tess | All Levels | Period 3 | Week 1 (July 7-12, 2024)
Come join our band! Actually we’re going to get you to form your own bands! Open to all singers and instrumentalists, this is your chance to collaborate with students and form your own country band. We will do some big group listening and discussion, then break off into smaller groups to experience the joy of playing music together. Both instructors will help guide singers and players in song execution and arrangements. This is the place to put into practice what you’ve been learning in the other classes!
Student bands will have an opportunity to perform at the end of the week if so desired.
About the Instructors
Thomas Bryan Eaton is the most fun, patient, organized yet relaxed teacher you will ever come across. He currently lives in the Nashville area where he is an in demand guitar & pedal steel player both live and as a studio musician and producer. He writes and performs his own songs while touring regularly with Miss Tess & the Talkbacks, Western Centuries and others. You may have heard the old saying that someone is “eat up with music”? Well, that is Thomas. He can stay up all night playing both six string and steel guitar as well as singing whatever the jam or performance calls for. He knows all the old classic country songs and sings them with feeling that belies his young years. A young student once wrote, “This man is a phenomenal musician, teacher and human. He made the hardest instrument there seem not so daunting.” Believe it.
Miss Tess has been leading her own band, performing, and touring professionally for the last decade. She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee, making a living as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bassist. Tess specializes in writing and playing American roots music including styles of country, blues, and swing. “Old-time warmth, 21st-century sass. It’s a potent recipe for that few artists successfully pull off — and Miss Tess is one of them.” – No Depression. www.misstessmusic.com.
