There's a new Old-time Jam Session in East Craftsbury, Vermont!
Beginning Wednesday, January 15th, the John Woodruff Simpson Memorial Library and Cabot Arts will partner to host an old-time jam session. The sessison will occur every 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 6 - 8pm.
Old-time music, also known as Appalachain stringband music, is traditionally played on the fiddle, banjo, guitar and bass. Tunes are learned by ear and are ideal for community participation. The music is the sort that one would naturally hear at a square dance or a contra dance.
Acoustic musicians of all ages and abilities are encouraged to attend. The session is free and open to the public. Listeners are encouraged to attend as well.
The East Craftsbury old-time jam session is supported by Cabot Arts's Music Mentoring Program whose mission is to revive community fiddling and to encourage participatiton in traditional music.
