SUMMARY:School of Music Slow Jam

We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. \n \nRed 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! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt 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					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$5.00\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$5.00\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$5.00\n					\n				\n			\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		Storytelling Open Mic Featuring Nancy Marie Payne\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 5 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Skidmore Songwriters\n\n				Multi-act Program Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 10 • 2 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Sing in the Streets\n\n				Multi-act Program\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 17 • 12 PM

SUMMARY:FRÄNDER
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program		\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\nSweden’s FRÄNDER blends Scandinavian and Baltic musical traditions with global folk-rock sensibilities\, creating contemporary arrangements that feel both ancient and electrifyingly new. With seductive harmonies\, heavy grooves\, and a mesmerizing stage presence\, FRÄNDER stands among the Nordic countries’ top roots music bands. \n \nInfluenced by first-generation Nordic folk rock pioneers like Hedningarna\, Garmarna\, and Hoven Droven—as well as by Led Zeppelin\, Fairport Convention\, Jethro Tull\, and Steeleye Span—FRÄNDER is rooted in heritage but driven by a bold\, modern creative spirit. \n \n“This is not about tradition\, this is about us\, about today\,”  \n \n—Gabbi Dluzewski \n \nEven while performing exclusively on acoustic instruments\, the band plays with the raw power and energy of a rock group. Their music is deeply tied to where they come from: the landscapes\, legends\, folklore\, and ancient stories of Sweden and Estonia. FRÄNDER’s concerts often weave tales of their homeland—the forests and lakes near the old Viking stronghold of Håga\, the cultural history they grew up in\, and the myths that continue to breathe life into their sound. \n \nThe band is a family affair: \n \nGabbi Dluzewski – Swedish låtmandola \n \nDaniel Dluzewski – bass \n \nNatasja Dluzewska – fiddle \n \nSäde Tatar – flutes (from Estonia\, and Gabbi’s wife) \n \nTogether\, they infuse the music of their ancestors with modern intensity\, crafting a soundscape where Viking-age echoes meet contemporary folk-rock fire. \n \n“Fränder delivers a fantastic\, stellar set of masterful songs with engaging vocals\, scorching fiddles\, evocative flutes\, and a powerful rhythm section.” \n \n—World Music Central \n \nExpect an evening of soaring melodies\, rich cultural storytelling\, and boundary-pushing acoustic energy. This is world music at its most alive\, dynamic\, and deeply rooted. \n \nJoin us for an unforgettable night with FRÄNDER — where tradition\, myth\, and modernity collide. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nStream this show live at.
