SUMMARY:School of Music Slow Jam

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	\n	\n	\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All

SUMMARY:Taylor Ashton
DESCRIPTION: 		\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	A road trip. A banjo. A nation rediscovered in song. Taylor Ashton’s latest album\, Stranger To The Feeling\, was recorded along a 4\,000-mile cross-country journey\, with each track capturing the soul of a different place and moment—from the quiet of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to the vast skies of Wyoming’s Bighorn National Forest. With his rich voice\, warm storytelling\, and effortless musicianship\, Ashton invites listeners into an intimate sonic scrapbook of America\, stitched together with guitar\, banjo\, and heart.  These songs bloom with a rare kind of immediacy\, shaped by outdoor sessions and spontaneous collaborations with friends old and new—including Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive)\, Buck Meek (Big Thief)\, and Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck). At once deeply personal and instantly relatable\, Ashton’s music resonates with fans of Nick Drake\, Paul Simon\, and the new generation of folk poets. SAMPLE SONG Come hear the road unfold in song. Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy one week of access with your live stream ticket.  Note: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value. Tickets purchased for the purpose of resale may be canceled without notice\, and refunds for such purchases will not be granted. \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			Similar Events\n			\n				View All
