Good Deale Bluegrass Shop Friday Jam

rhagen — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:03:39 -0500

The weekly Friday night jam sessions are dedicated to no holds barred bluegrass, old-time, and country music. Participants range in age from pre-teens to, well lets just say a considerable bit older than that. Musical ability is similarly wide-ranging. Especially during the warmer months, it is not unusual for as many as 30 to 40 people to show up, some picking, some just listening and enjoying the music.

Also, there is a beginner jam/slow jam at the shop every Thursday evening from 7:00 until 9:00.

Get together with like-minded lovers of folk music and singing! We meet twice a month to sing and play folk songs, most taken from the Rise Up Singing book. Members also bring lyrics to their favorite songs and hand out copies.

If you're familiar with folk music and are not shy about singing, or you play an acoustic instrument, come on down! Those who can sing harmonies or play fiddle, flute or harmonica are particularly welcome at this point.
