The celebration was held at the beautiful Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium and hosted in conjunction with the long anticipated Blue Ridge Guitar Camp that took place June 1-5.   Bryan Sutton’s Blue Ridge Guitar Camp, that had been delayed for two years due to Covid-19 concerns, was held at the Brevard Music Center.
