Just in case any Mudcatters will be in the area at the appropriate time, I submit the following:

Pierre Bensusan will be at The Prism coffee house in Charlottesville, VA on Friday, April 16 en Francais - Saturday, April 17 in English. His many musical accomplishments include an extensive use of "non-standard guitar tunings" - especially DADGAD.

Saturday, April 17 1-4 pm: A hands-on workshop with Pierre Bensusan: bring your instrument! Although primarily geared towards the guitar, practically any musician would gain some invaluable insights in how to approach music in general, tone production, and getting the most out of your instrument. All levels are encouraged to attend: this is one of the most effective master-classes taught by a major acoustic artist. Fee: $25.00 for the three hours.

Here is a link which will tell more about the artist and the coffee house:
