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						$120.00\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		Folk Club Kids\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Family Folk\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 15 • 10:30 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		After School Folk Ensemble with James Gascoyne and Oona Grady\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Country Folk Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 15 • 2:30 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Bluegrass Jam\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 15 • 7 PM

SUMMARY:The Black Feathers
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\nWith roots in British and American folk\, The Black Feathers’ magical harmonies intertwine with gorgeous ballads and side-splitting humor. \n \nEnglish husband-wife duo Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler weave the spirit of traditional UK folk with acoustic indie rock\, reminding listeners of the era of Steeleye Span. Hughes’ guitar work and the duos' emotive harmony vocals are pure magic. Their music moves easily between styles like folk\, Americana\, and acoustic indie without ever losing its focus on strong songwriting and clear\, expressive performances. It’s a sound that has carried them from the UK to festivals across the U.S.\, including Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Kate Wolf Music Festival\, and AmericanaFest\, as well as official showcases at multiple Folk Alliance conferences.  \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \n“…stunning harmonies that were so good it reminded me of seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings” –No Depression \n \n“The Black Feathers are acoustic\, but with enough power and force to drive a sledgehammer.” –fRoots Magazine \n \n“Sheer poetic beauty both lyrically and musically.” –Cryptic Rock \n \nInterspersed with their sparkling ballads they share a ripping sense of humor that never fails to leave the audience in stitches. \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
