All-Comers Slow Jam, 2nd Thursdays 6:30-8PM Outside
Location TBD, email for more details: resonance.vermont@gmail.com
The All-Comers Jam is a free, all-ages-and-levels-welcome, New England contra/square dance repertoire music session in a democratic, sit-in style. We go around the circle allow each person to start a tune/small set or pass on their turn and all folks are welcome to play and work on picking up each tune by ear or sheet music. This is a "slow jam" for learning traditional dance music at a relaxed pace which Emerson Gale or an occasional guest teacher facilitates to help folks learn new music by ear.
People bring fiddles, mandolins, cellos, guitars, ukuleles, banjos, flutes, accordions, harmonicas, recorders, concertinas, voice, and percussion. The tunes include the genres of Scottish, French Canadian, Irish, Cape Breton, Scandinavian, and Americana/Old Timey music. Folks can stop in for as little or as long as they like and dancers/listeners are very welcome as well. Everyone except the facilitator is muted during tunes so it is a safe space to explore your instruments.
Free and donations go to support the facilitation of this event ($10-15 recommended)
Please note that for liability reasons, the building has a no dog policy besides service dogs. Thank you for your understanding.
