Chris will be leading two workshops at the Folk Music Society of New York's Fall Weekend. One will be an Instrument "Petting Zoo," Where there will be a plethora of instruments for folks to come and "try out." Very essential introductory lessons will be given. Instruments will include: Guitar, Lap Dulcimer, Mandolin, English and Anglo Concertinas, Fiddle, Cittern, Assorted wind instruments, a variety of percussion instruments, and others.

The other workshop will be Surf & Turf from NYS and New England. Chris will be singing songs from some of the wonderful collections that focus on the wide areas of NY State, and New England.

In addition, Joy Bennett will be providing two wonderful workshops of Work Song Traditions and Women and the Sea. (Both great!). Specifics can be found here: https://folkmusicny.org/2025/10/05/2025-fmsnys-city-fall-weekend/
