Howe says, "This year I'm getting back to doing some solo dates, and the Cross Styles Music Retreat is an extension of that. I'll be enjoying the different things the event will demand of me, as opposed to just doing shows. It's a wider breadth of 'guitarness,' and it indulges me in my singular fascination - the guitar. Hopefully, my team and the audience can do a little mingling and learn more about each other."

Guitar players of all ages, levels and styles are invited to join Howe and other guest instructors for this music camp. It represents a first for Howe.
