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	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						General\n						$35.00\n					\n				\n			\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				More Information			\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		Mandolin Vitamins with Alan Epstein\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jun 22 • 10 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Mandolin Vitamins with Alan Epstein\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 13 • 10 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Fingerstyle Guitar with Ron Gordon\n\n				American Roots Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Jul 18 • 10 AM

A powerful lyricist\, Matthews weaves compassionate dissent\, hope\, and love into songs that resonate deeply with audiences\, tackling themes like immigration\, the opioid crisis\, Black Lives Matter\, and gun safety. \n \nHer critically acclaimed album Changemakers solidifies her place among legendary social justice artists like Sweet Honey in the Rock and Holly Near. Known for her warm heart\, strong voice\, and ability to bridge divides\, Matthews uplifts and inspires\, offering a much-needed message of hope and encouragement in challenging times. \n \nA seasoned performer\, Matthews has graced prestigious stages across the country\, including Lincoln Center (as the 2017 New Song Music and Performance Competition grand prize winner)\, the Kennedy Center\, Sundance Film Festival\, and Kerrville Folk Festival. Her TED Talk\, “Sing\, Don’t Shout—An Alternative Approach\,” reflects her philosophy of using music as a tool for connection and conversation. \n \nSample Song \n \nCan't make it in person?
