First Friday Jam planned March 3 in Canton

Posted

CANTON -- Fiddler Gretchen Koehler and singer/guitarist Barb Heller, host of NCPR's String Fever, will host the First Friday Jam at Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, 53 Main St., March 3, from 7-8:30 p.m.

Musicians and friends of all ages are invited to participate.

TAUNY's traditional music jams center around old time fiddle tunes and songs from American folk traditions.

Participants are invited to bring an instrument, singing voice, or just yourself and come to The TAUNY Center for this fun monthly jam.

Fiddles, guitars, percussion, and/or other traditional instruments as well as all levels of musicians, singers, and step dancers are welcome.

To help all players feel comfortable, tunes will be played at a variety of speeds throughout the evening.

Players will be invited to pick tunes from the set list -- round-robin style -- and begin the tune at their speed. Sheet music, words, and chords are provided for those who would like to read along.

This jam is sponsored by Parker’s Maple, www.parkersmaple.com.
