Read about the pre-jam workshop planned for the next 5th Sunday Jam on October 29!

October 18, 2023

Starting at 11:30am on October 29, two workshops will be held prior to our 5th Sunday jam at the Sebastopol Grange.

The workshops will be hosted by board member, Michael Stadler. Here’s what Michael says:

Woodshedding / Workshopping / Jamming

David Thiessen (mandolin) and Michael Stadler (Guitar/vocals)

We will split by instrument into two sessions initially, then reassemble to try out a few things just learned before the general jams begin.

We will offer thoughts and tips to make jams more cohesive and individual performances stronger and better heard.

The regular jamming begins at the usual 1:00 start time.
