Old Time Fiddle Jam 6:45 CST

Time: 6:45 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. CST. Suggested, but not inclusive song list at the bottom. Join us for a bunch of old time fiddle tunes and fun! No music allowed for this session.

If you play other instruments such as mandolin or banjo, they are allowed as well. (Guitar players must know how to keep rhythm, as we rely on this for the jam.) We will all be playing melody at the same time.

No backup skills necessary, and you don't have to know all the songs to join in. The idea is to learn the songs as we go. Everyone will get a chance to pick a song or two!

Suggested donation is $15 per person, but please come anyway regardless! We will have coffee, water and snacks. All ages welcome as long as attention span is suitable.

SONG LISTS (Suggested, but not inclusive). And we will let others lead songs not on this list!
