This year features artists from all across the guitar diasopra, including Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame artist Roseanne Cash, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, classical artist extraordinaire Sharon Isbin, and a return visit from hard-hitting blues-rock phenom Samantha Fish.
ELLNORA also features free performances from jazz legends Dave Holland and John Scofield, gritty blues-funk from Grace Bowers and the Hodge Podge, a Deadhead extravaganza from BERTHA: Grateful Drag, and MANY others!
Food and drink, history and trivia, and family-fun activities round out the weekend.
Come be immersed in guitar from all around the world.
Come be here.
