A PSGW instructor since 1979, Joe Vinikow joined his first band at age 13, and has played rock, blues, bluegrass, swing, and jazz, in more or less that order ever since. A founder of the Guitar For Grownups program in his native Seattle, he has an MA in Music from the University of Washington, and has produced and contributed to a number films on traditional American music, in addition to several albums of original songs recorded in Nashville. And after a long hiatus, he is pleased to bring his Party Guitar class back to the original scene of the crime.
