Playshops

What's a playshop? Well, most folks call them workshops, but when Reggie’s at the helm, they’re just too much fun to call work!

Reggie regularly leads playshops at schools, private events, conventions, places of worship, concerts, retreats and clinics.

Join Reggie as he takes you on a fascinating journey through history to explore the rhythms underlying blues, jazz, and funk. Combining his love and knowledge of history and music with a remarkable gift for storytelling, Reggie uses performance, demonstration and hands-on teaching to trace musical origins from Africa through the slave routes all the way through its evolution to modern styles.

If you'd like to book Reggie for a playshop, please contact Kristin Valinsky at kvalinsky@gmail.com or 503.477.0415.
