* Circle -Jams
Do you play the guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, dobro or upright bass? Would you like to improve your skills on your instrument? Are you feeling too shy to sing at a mic in front of a crowd but think you might like to try singing in a cirlcle? Are you tired of playing alone in a living room and ready for the excitement, fun and energy that you will get playing with a group of people? Are you an experienced player and singer who would like to come out to support and inspire others?
The bluegrass circle jam is a fun and welcoming way for beginning or shy bluegrass pickers and singers to come in a relaxed and safe inviroment to improve there playing and singing and to learn to play with others. It’s also a great opportunity for those who are more experinced to show off there skills and inspire others.
CIRCLE-JAM SONGBOOK:
A songbook isn’t required at a bluegrass jam, but it sure comes in handy for those new to bluegrass or those looking for a new song to sing. Our 3rd edition of the book now has 132 bluegrass songs (47 new) and 70 bluegrass tunes has been compiled by the Summerland Bluegrass Society as part of its mission to preserve and promote bluegrass and old-time country music in the Okanagan region. Our professionally printed and bound songbook is available for purchase at the jams for $21 for members and $25 for non-members, or you can access the digital copy for free. The first printed copy of the 3rd edition is ready and can be purchased at any of our jams. You can download the copy for free. Here.
