Crook Farm Old Time Music Jams
Jammin' at the farm
If you are a musician looking for someone to play with or if you are someone who likes to listen to live music, here's an opportunity to do both. The Jammers are local musicians who meet to learn to play folk, dance, Grand Old Opry, and other favorite music of past generations and we are delighted to share our facility with them to promote the living history of music that they enjoy working on. They are not a band for hire, it's more like a back porch gathering of friends or family playing whatever instruments they have and singing along when they know the words.
There are no dancers, & the musicians who show up sit in a circle & share "Country Classics".
These community Jam Sessions start at 7:30 on Tues. evenings & generally go till 10:30pm. Please bring your instrument & voice. We use a small PA system & share a few microphones mostly for vocals. We sit in a small circle, so it's not necessary to have your own amplifier. We prefer mostly acoustic instruments, but the guitar & steel are generally plugged in to the PA.
Our repertoire is Country, Bluegrass & Folk mostly from the 30's, 40's, 50's & 60's but sometimes play early "show tunes". We have "published" our songs (lead sheets w/chords) on the Internet for easy access.
As with any "regular" event, it's best to call first just to be sure it's happening.
