ONLINE Zoom All-Comers Jam, 3rd Sundays 4-6PM @ Seven Stars
Next one: September
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 in Zoom to 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. 4 - 5 PM is a Slow Jam which Emerson Gale or an occasional guest teacher facilitates to help folks learn new music by ear. 5-6PM is when the faster jam begins and local contradance band musicians arrive.
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. We have a donation basket for folks to contribute for the heating to keep this event free, thank you!
The Zoom invitation will be posted on this page within a week of the jam.
Free and donations go to support the upkeep of the Seven Stars Arts Center, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit
