This amazing array of artists and more will perform, teach and be jammin' at Fur Peace Ranch, the guitar school Jorma Kaukonen started in southern Ohio.

"Focus on the things you love, listen
with an open heart, and the music
will speak for itself!” - Jorma Kaukonen
In 1989, Jorma and Vanessa Kaukonen conceived what Jorma calls "a ranch that grows guitar players." Not a fantasy camp, but a place where both budding and seasoned musicians could immerse themselves and emerge with renewed inspiration and tangible progress in their playing.
