Dates: Sunday 10th September – 16th September in Nashville
16th September – Travelling from Nashville to New Orleans
16th September to 22nd September in New Orleans
Nashville
If cities had a soundtrack, Nashville’s would be a mix of music’s past, present, and future with cuts of country, bluegrass, rock, pop, Americana, gospel, classical, and blues, all blending in perfect harmony. Explore the Nashville nightlife, see a Nashville show and dive into Nashville’s diverse entertainment offerings. We can not wait to get to Nashville.
Nashville has some of the best music venues and best working musicians in the world. Your days will start with Nashville themed workshops in the morning, then we’re out into the City to eat our way through that famous Southern cuisine, with tickets to the hottest shows in town. As we get closer to the date we’ll know more. But as ever, it’s going to be awesome. If you’re coming and there’s something you really want to do, just tell us and we’ll try to include it.

New Orleans
We’re returning to the home of the blues for our second outing to perhaps the most musically rich city in the world.
New Orleans is like no other place we’ve been. There’s music everywhere. It’s on the streets, it’s in the bars, it’s in our accommodation, it’s in the very fabric of the City. New Orleans was literally built on Blues and Jazz and because of this, there is no better place for a music fan to go and get lost in its dizzying melodies and all-consuming lifestyle. This is less a holiday and more an immersive experience that will stick with you forever and change your perception of what The Blues is and what live music can be like.
New Orleans is a city of adventure where anything and everything can happen. On our last trip everything did happen. Just ask those that attended.

Flying with a Guitar
Taking part in the daily workshops is not an essential part of this holiday, however, flying with a guitar is no big deal (especially if its a flying V-dad joke without apology). Just get a decent case and ignore any horror tales you hear online about baggage handlers. In seven years of doing over seas trips we haven’t had one damaged guitar.
