DESCRIPTION:Instructional		\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	All are Welcome!WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\,AND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!This weekly program is made possible by the generous support of PHLY Foundation! 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

SUMMARY:William Tyler
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Instructional		\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\nFew instrumental guitarists of the last two decades have expanded the possibilities of American roots music quite like William Tyler. Drawing from folk\, ambient music\, country\, experimental composition\, and the wide-open landscapes of the American imagination\, Tyler creates instrumental music that feels cinematic\, searching\, and deeply human.  \n \nAfter early years performing with influential bands including Silver Jews and Lambchop\, Tyler emerged as a singular solo artist with a series of acclaimed albums that blended fingerstyle guitar traditions with field recordings\, layered textures\, tape loops\, and subtle electronic experimentation. His music carries traces of Nashville\, Appalachia\, classical minimalism\, cosmic country\, and ambient drift all at once. It is rooted in tradition while continually pushing outward.  \n \nHis newest album\, Time Indefinite\, is perhaps his most personal and immersive work to date. Created during the uncertainty and isolation of the pandemic years\, the record combines intimate home recordings\, found sounds\, tape experiments\, and moments of extraordinary melodic beauty into a deeply reflective listening experience. Tyler has described it as music about “trying to come back." These are songs shaped by anxiety\, grief\, resilience\, and the fragile hope that persists through difficult times. \n \nThroughout the album\, fragments of voices\, fading textures\, and ghostly ambient sounds drift alongside Tyler’s luminous guitar work\, creating music that feels both grounded and dreamlike. Yet even in its most experimental moments\, there is warmth and humanity at the center of the work. Tyler’s gift has always been his ability to balance atmosphere with melody\, abstraction with emotional clarity.  \n \nLive\, William Tyler creates an atmosphere unlike almost anyone else working in contemporary instrumental music. It is intimate\, exploratory\, meditative\, and emotionally resonant.  \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nPITCHFORK ALBUM REVIEW \n \nYet for all its complexity\, Tyler’s music never feels distant or academic. His compositions invite listeners inward. Gentle acoustic passages unfold into immersive soundscapes; moments of tension dissolve into warmth and grace. If it sounds unique\, he does create an atmosphere unlike almost anyone else working in contemporary instrumental music.  \n \nWe invite you to experience this powerful evening as William Tyler's intricate guitar work\, atmospheric textures\, and fearless sense of exploration fill our listening room.   \n \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV.
