CANCELLATION + REFUND POLICY

Please review this cancellation & refund policy CAREFULLY before paying your deposit or fees.

ON OR BEFORE AUG. 1, 2014, registration fees and on-site lodging deposits are fully refundable minus a $25 cancellation fee.

FROM AUG. 2 THROUGH OCT. 1, registration fees are 50% refundable. On-site lodging & meals payments are refundable if we are able to reassign your room and/or meals to another participant. Otherwise, lodging & meals payments are nonrefundable.

ON & AFTER OCT. 1, registration fees and on-site lodging and meals payments are non-refundable.

Family+Friends

Many ResoSummit participants bring family members or friends with them to Nashville.

At registration on Thursday afternoon, and during ResoSummit, you can buy "friends and family" tickets (price TBA) so that your family members or friends can join you for the evening performances at The Station Inn. You can also purchase on-site meals for your friends and family (by pre-order, in advance of the event). Family and friends are welcome to participate in after-hours jams on instruments other than dobro (and we especially encourage bass players!). However, workshops and other daytime ResoSummit activities, including the opening session, are open to registered participants only. You may bring family/friends to the closing performance on a space-available basis.

Our Restaurants+Diversions webpage lists nearby restaurants and some interesting activities for Nashville visitors, and we'll update this list as ResoSummit gets closer.

Nashville Scene Critic's Pick

Critics' Pick, Nashville Scene:

Ever the busy bee, resonator guitarist Rob Ickes has for several years now been taking time out of his hectic schedule to preside over ResoSummit, an instructional camp that’s only half-jokingly billed as “total Dobro overload by design.” [By] way of showing off the instrument and some of its best masters, each night finds campers — and the public — gathering up at the Station Inn for related shows. It is always a stunning lineup..."

Schedule highlights

ResoSummit begins on Thursday, Nov. 13. Registration opens at 3pm, and on-site room check-in opens then also. There is an optional "get acquainted" dinner at 5:30pm in the Susie Gray Dining Hall at the Scarritt-Bennett Center, our ResoSummit "home", and the first official event of ResoSummit will be an 8pm performance at the Station Inn. Informal jamming space will be available beginning at 1pm, and is available after-hours each day of ResoSummit, as deep into the night as you wish to use it.

Friday, Nov. 14 features an all-Summit opening session, where you'll meet the faculty and hear them play in duos. Three workshop sessions follow, plus an "optional activities" hour with options ranging from informal performances and demos to one-on-one opportunities to consult with faculty and our staff luthiers during "office hours". After a dinner break we'll be back at the Station Inn for a performance, followed by informal after-hours jamming.

Saturday, Nov. 15 has a similar schedule, with four workshop sessions, plus an optional activities hour, and an 8pm performance at The Station Inn.
Sunday, Nov. 16 features two morning workshop sessions, plus one 2-hour session after lunch. There is an opportunity on Sunday for a workshop at a nearby recording studio, and the 2-hour final workshop is a good opportunity for a more in-depth treatment of key topics. ResoSummit then closes with "Dobro All-Stars" faculty performance, which will end by 6pm. Some participants leave on Sunday afternoon or evening; others stay overnight and leave on Monday, so we provide after-hours jamming space for Sunday night.

Workshops

ResoSummit offers approx. 80 workshops during 10 workshop sessions, covering a broad range of topics. The workshop schedule includes core topics offered every year, along with new topics based on faculty interests and suggestions from prior years' surveys. Check out the 2013 workshops here.

NEW FOR 2014: We will be offering special workshops that will give interested participants an opportunity to be in a very small (6 max.), level-controlled, and highly-participatory workshop, focusing on individual critique and feedback. Details will be in the 2014 Workshop Schedule, and participants will be surveyed in advance of the schedule's publication to help us best design these small-group sessions.
