Thu Jan 8, 2026
Time: 7-9pm
Location: Private residence in Portland (email sharonjeanallen@yahoo.com for the address)
Contra dance tunes jam session. Any acoustic instrument, any level of musicianship welcome. (Really! No one's counting how many wrong notes get played!)
FREE! No cost to participants!
We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month to learn tunes by George Penk or Betsy Branch, alternating between SW and SE Portland. The focus is on developing a common repertoire to play by ear at jam sessions and, for those who wish, at 5th Saturday Open Band contra dances. Every third month rather than learn new tunes, we jam on the ones we've learned plus whatever else people want to play. The repeated monthly schedule is as follows:
