Each year the
Sacramento Banjo Band
 sponsors an annual banjo music festival known as Banjo-Rama. World class banjo stars
are featured as soloists and in ensembles. Eddie Peabody, probably the most famous
banjo player ever, performed at the very first Banjo-Rama. In addition to banjo virtuosos,
there are several exciting west coast banjo bands. It's quite a musical spectacle
that could just as well have been named the banjo Olympics. These musicians are not
just plucking chords like grandpa used to do on the back porch! They are genuine
pros! Their fingers and hands are sizzling hot, moving faster than the eye can follow,
playing everything from classical to popular music. You'll be surprised and delighted
at their imaginative arrangements, versatility, and precise execution. Primarily
4-string banjos are played at Banjo-Rama. Banjo-Rama proceeds are a benefit for charities
like the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
