JUBILEE FUNdamental

FUNdamental workshop Sessions planned A series of workshops have been scheduled to take place in the barn at the jubilee this year with a number of gifted musicians taking part.

On Sat., Sept. 1, from 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. upright bass basics with Daniel Vaughn; from 3:00 – 3:30 p.m. rhythm guitar with David Vaughn; 4:00 – 4:30 p.m. banjo mojo with Butch Osborne; and 5:00 – 5:30 p.m. mandolin magic with Johnny Staats.

Johnny Staats joined his first band “Bluegrass Heritage” at the age of nine. He entered competitions at the age of 13 or 14. “In high school, all the kids teased me about playing bluegrass since rock and roll was big then,” he recalls.

Staats has won his share of contests, but that’s not for Johnny. For one thing, he writes his own tunes, which doesn’t necessarily get you far in contests. Staats has a distinctive style, not only in his playing but in his composition. “I use a lot of pull-offs,” he says, “because instead of just hitting a bunch of notes, pull-offs add more flavor to it.”

Wires and Wood, his first album signed to a major label, was a smash. It included the talents of Sam Bush, Jim Hurst, Tim O’Brien, John Cowan and Kathy Mattea. Giant recording label had a big hit on their hands, when suddenly they went bust.

Since then, Johnny has continued to record and play at concerts on his own with his back up men, “The Delivery Boys.”

Staats has no intention of giving up his day job as a UPS driver, which gives a special twist to his story, at least in the eyes of much of the press. Folks all over are sitting up and taking notice of Johnny Staats and his creative energy.

Butch Osbourne started playing the banjo at the age of 12. His first influence was Earl Scruggs and Alan Munde and as he advanced, he started listening to Béla Fleck, Alison Brown, Scott Vestal, and Tony Trischka.

Osborne plays various styles but likes the progressive end of the spectrum with tunes like Swing 42, Minor Swing, Memories of Mozart and other various Jazz and Classical tunes.

He has won the West Virginia State Banjo Competition several times; at MerleFest and many other wins with a total of 62 first place trophies. He completed his first CD in 2007 titled “All of Me” featuring the banjo but with some pretty fancy stuff from Johnny Staats on mandolin, Robert Shafer on guitar, and Roger Bush on percussion.

Butch teaches advanced banjo from his home in Parkersburg.

On Sunday from 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. there will be a session called Square Dancin’ 101 hosted by Mack Samples Mack Samples is a well-known folklorist, musician and square dance caller. A native West Virginian, he has spent his entire life learning, collecting and sharing the traditional stories, songs, dances and folk culture of the Mountain State. He is well known in Appalachian music and literature circles and has traveled the folk festival circuit for a number of years as a singer, guitarist, fiddler and square dance caller. Samples is a regular at the Vandalia Gathering, the West Virginia State Folk Festival and the Jackson’s Mill Jubilee, both as a member of the popular Samples Brothers band and as a solo performer. He is the author of four books set in West Virginia, and he has written a number of newspaper columns and magazine articles on a variety of subjects related to the traditional folk arts.

Learn more about Mack at www.macksamples.com Also on Sunday from 3:00 – 3:30 p.m. Buddy Griffin will be leading a session titled Fiddlin’ Around.

Griffin, a Nicholas County native who grew up in Braxton County, is a master musician on several instruments and a dedicated teacher and mentor. Raised in a musical family, Buddy began performing at an early age, excelling at banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin.

He traveled extensively, appearing and recording with many top-name bluegrass and country music artists.

In 1997, he returned to West Virginia and taught music at Glenville State College, where he was instrumental in developing the world’s first degree program in bluegrass music. Buddy remains active as a performer and teacher of bluegrass and traditional music.

He has appeared more than 200 times on the Grand Ole’ Opry stage in Nashville.
