We've just moved from St. Louis to Bella Vista in Northwest Arkansas. We're a family of 10 and enjoy learning bluegrass together and playing out as a family band in nursing homes and such (at least pre-covid!). In St. Louis, we went for guitar, banjo, mandolin, and band performance lessons to the wonderfully talented teacher Chris Talley Armstrong at the Bluegrass Shack in New Athens, IL.
I'm wondering if anybody knows what the bluegrass scene is like in NWA, at least when it's not stifled by a pandemic. In particular, while we're continuing with our old teacher by Zoom for guitar, banjo, and band performance, my two fiddle-playing daughters need a teacher here in the area. If anyone has any leads, we'd much appreciate hearing about them.
Thanks!
