Victor Haskins is a multi-instrumentalist, multidisciplinary artist, international performer, composer, improviser, bandleader, and educator.  Haskins creates transformative, sound-based works which channel the power of human connection, immediacy, and inventiveness to engage with time and space.  Victor specializes in creating unforgettable memories through the power of performance.

 

“The Storyteller’s Approach to Improvisation”
The workshop is a hands-on experience facilitated by clinician Victor Haskins.  We will discuss how to learn tunes and we will explore different techniques for expanding one’s improvisational skills and creating cohesive solos that feel like well-told stories that captivate listeners.  Participants should bring their instruments so they can perform and work through some concepts with clinician Victor Haskins.  Audience members who prefer not to participate directly via playing an instrument will enjoy a “behind-the-scenes” peek at what goes into a well-developed, improvised solo!

Music: Three great artists sharing their experiences. Jacob Vanko, Kyle Davis, and Mads Overy

​

Jacob Vanko found himself coming into his own as a songwriter in his 20’s. Migrating from Pennsylvania to land in Southeast Virginia, his life experiences to this point painted a curious picture of the world. Social observations, the ugliness of inner struggle, searching and questioning brought an intense quality to his writing.  The early seeds of traditional blues, folk, country and bluegrass have collided with the bold sounds of grunge and rock influences forging a poetic, americana songwriter with a furious live stage presence.
