WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\, AND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!THERE ARE NO PRE-SHOW RESERVATIONS FOR THE JAMS! SUGGESTED DONATION AT THE DOOR. $5.00 per person Our jams are all about sharing songs\, making new friends\, and enjoying a relaxing and casual evening of irresistible string band music. ALL are welcome to join the circle for an afternoon or evening playing and listening to classic grass\, new grass and folk favorites. We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. Red Spruce and Adirondack Song Dogs will kick off each session with a few tunes then open the floor for musicians to lead their favorite bluegrass tunes and folk music\, backed up by the other pickers in the gathering. Simple tunes are always popular! So sharpen up your axe\, come prepared with your song\, and let us hear some good old fast\, high and lonesome\, some slow and low\, or a good old favorite. All are welcome! What is a Slow Jam? It is a group of string instrument players and singers who get together to have fun making music. The “slow” modifier indicates that it is targeted to the following musicians: people who have been playing solo and want to get used to playing in a group setting: people who have just learned how to play and want to play with others; people who have instruments that have been gathering dust for a “few” years; experienced players who are trying out playing instruments other than their primary instrument; people who are comfortable playing their instrument but want to become more comfortable singing/leading a song.. The tunes are played at 80 to 110 BPM and usually in basic keys such a G\, A\, D\, C major\, but it always sounds great to play in some minor keys such as “a”\, “e”\, and “g”. We will try to avoid “jam busters.” It is our hope that after this experience you will feel more comfortable playing at the many open jams and open mics that can be found in our area. \n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 6:30 pm	\n	\n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$39.04\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$43.38\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$21.69\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				Get Tickets			\n			\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Bright Series: Cristina Vane\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Blues Rock\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 7 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Jake Eddy\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 30 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 10 • 8 PM

SUMMARY:Oshima Brothers with opener Madeleine Roger
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Bluegrass		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	Open-hearted music with exhilarating\, almost unbelievably smooth vocal harmonies and groovy guitar lines. Oshima Bothers\, a Japanese-Italian alt-pop sibling duo from the coast of Maine\, make open-hearted music with exhilarating\, almost unbelievably smooth vocal harmonies and groovy guitar lines. With keys\, bass\, drums and looping\, they create a sonic experience that is contemporary\, danceable and yet full of poetic observation about big things going on in the world. Their unique music is fueled by technical tinkering\, aesthetic brilliance and devotion to human connection. Embracing a DIY approach\, they produce every inch of their songs and videos from scratch\, including a 45-minute album-movie. Maine Public Radio says their “harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and\, let’s face it\, we need uplifting these days.” Winnepeg singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger has a riveting\, intimate style that unites lyrical prowess and breathtaking melodies that linger long after they're sung. “Madeleine's excellent songwriting\, ear for traditional-sounding melodies\, fabulous voice\, and skillful guitar playing give them a timeless quality\, though they speak directly to our time.” – Stan Rogers Folk Festival​​.
