Students from the 2015 Midwest Banjo Camp

This weekend, people will explore dueling Banjo styles in Olivet. We learn about Bluegrass and Old-Time playing at the 12th Annual Midwest Banjo Camp with co-director, Stan Werbin.

Whether you like either bluegrass or clawhammer styles, this weekend the Midwest Banjo Camp strums its way to Olivet College.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley speaks with  Stan Werbin, co-director of the Midwest Banjo Camp. He's also the owner of the Old Town Lansing landmark that is Elderly Instruments. Werbin certainly knows both of those two banjo styles.
