Announcing: Hot Rize at Bonnaroo! Plus: Two special new Jam Camps‏



FRI. JUNE 11th

Catch Hot Rize's debut at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Pete and bandmates Nick Forster, Tim O'Brien & Bryan Sutton join an exciting roster of performers for this multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. Some of the best performers in rock, jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, bluegrass and more will be there. For its peaceful vibe, near-flawless logistics, and unrivaled entertainment options, Rolling Stone named this revolutionary entertainment experience "one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll."--AND--SUN. JUNE 20th Hot Rize returns to the legendary Telluride Bluegrass Festival,nestled in a spectacular box canyon deep in the Colorado Rockies. Hot Rize started a string of 12 consecutive appearances there in 1978 and has returned sporadically since their disbanding in 1990, a total of more appearances at the festival than any other band. Every Hot Rize show at Telluride warms fans' hearts and makes history! (These renegade sons of Western music (at right) are expected as well.)


New Jam Camps in Kentucky & Colorado!


Pete has recently confirmed his Bluegrass Jam Camp in Kentucky: June 22-24 at the International Bluegrass Music Museum in downtown Owensboro. The museum is the world's only facility dedicated to the history and preservation of the international history of bluegrass music -- a great match for the camp!Following camp on June 24, Pete & Joan Wernick will perform at the Museum's ROMP Festival, featuring bluegrass legends, a Blue Grass Boys reunion, and top talent.April 16-18 is Pete's Intermediate Jam & Band Skills Camp -- a real 'Colorado Bluegrass Getaway' -- at the beautiful Sylvan Dale Ranch, right on the banks of the Big Thompson River near Loveland.

(Note: There have been a number of inquiries about the Oak Hill, NY camp. Pete is not performing at this year's Grey Fox Festival, so won't be holding the camp this year. It's hoped there will be a camp in 2011 in conjunction with a performance at the Festival.)
