ResoSummit is Total Dobro Overload by design:
3 days of workshops by a diverse, stellar faculty, 4 evening performances, after-hours jams, luthier consultations, and more. ResoSummit's home is the Scarritt-Bennett Center, a beautiful campus in Nashville's MusicRow-Vanderbilt area, with nightly performances at the Station Inn.
Our goal: to send you home with enough homework, ideas, and especially inspiration to make this a highly creative and productive time in your musical life.

And now, ResoSummit 2010 is one for the history books.
