“Songs Beyond” Fast Jam
On the Cambridge/Arlington border Cambridge, MAThese weekly Teacher-Directed Jams hosted by Tony Watt are open to all bluegrass instruments, both rhythm and lead players. Each week we play through songs from the same set repertoire at various tempos depending on the experience level of the jam. You can attend even if you don’t know all of the tunes as I have mp3s and copies of tab, chords, and lyrics for most of these tunes, however, I only have tabs for mandolin, guitar, and bass at this time. Every Wednesday the “Songs Beyond" fast jam meets from 9 until 10 pm in north Cambridge. Each week we play through songs chosen by a rotating "DJ" (a regular jam member) from the following repertoire: Big Sciota (in G), Big Spike Hammer (in A), Bill Cheatham (in A), Gold Rush (in A), Billy in the Lowground (in C), Fireball Mail (in G), Wayfaring Stranger (in Em), Blackberry Blossom (in G), St. Anne's Reel (in D), and possibly Old Joe Clark (in A). These are my fastest teacher-directed jams, and some might argue we play some of these songs too fast. The jams are held in north Cambridge, about a half mile from where Rt. 2 hits Cambridge at the Alewife T station. This location is one block from the intersection of Rt. 16 and Mass. Ave., near the Cambridge/Arlington border. There is plenty of meter-free, permit-free parking on Mass. Ave., and the location is only a 10-minute walk from Alewife and 15 minutes from Davis Sq. Most of the attendees of the jam are what I call “subscribers”, which means they have paid in advance and committed to attend a block of six jams. The subscriber cost is $10 per hour-long jam, but you … Read More »

Tony Trischka Banjo Workshop
Dobbs Ferry Woman's Club house 54 Clinton Avenue, Hastings on Hudson, , NYThis will be a 3 hour hands-on workshop, geared for all levels from beginning to advanced. It would be best if you can at least play a few tunes and know some of the rolls. (If you pay for the workshop though and just want to watch that is ok as well.) Tony will be covering: ways to improve your timing (and generally achieve a professional sound), playing the syllables (a very important Earl Scruggs concept), back-up ideas, developing solos, and improvisational strategies. He’ll also be touching upon melodic and single string styles as well. More advanced topics can covered if people are interested. In addition to prepared tabs and materials that he wants to go through, he strongly encourages student participation. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and he encourages you to bring a video or aural recording device. Here is some background on him if you do not know his amazing accomplishments. Tony is not only considered amongst the most innovative of banjo players, he is one of its most respected and sought after instructors creating fifteen instructional books as well as a series of DVDs. In 2009, he launched the groundbreaking Tony Trischka School of Banjo, an advanced, interactive, online instructional site that is the banjo home for students from around the world. He will be inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame for his work in education and instruction in Sept of 2017. http://www.tonytrischka.com/bio/ Price $75 per person To reserve a spot contact Tara Linhardt at [email protected] We need at least 6 people committed to run the workshop so reserve your spot right away so we know if we have enough folks.
