TAUNY's traditional music jams are open to good-natured folks interested in gathering with North Country neighbors to play old time fiddle tunes. All levels of musicians, singers, and step dancers are welcome. Toe tappin’ listeners are encouraged although they may be handed a pair of spoons or washboard before the eve is over!

Jams will be the first Friday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. hosted by fiddlers Gretchen Koehler and Don Woodcock and singer/guitarist Barb Heller, host of NCPR's String Fever.  

To help all players feel welcome, we will play tunes at a variety of speeds throughout the evening. Players will be invited to pick tunes from the set list--round-robin style--and begin the tune at their speed. Sheet music, words, and chords will be provided for those who would like to read along.  Bring music stands if you need one.
