Old-time

Every Second Saturday, it's an old-time jam at Dusty Strings, hosted by our friends from the old-time community. March 13, Seattle's rockin' Atlas Stringband will be leading the group, playing their favorite old-time southern fiddle-tunes and singing their favorite songs. Atlas is Paul Tolo on fiddle, Morgan John on banjo, David Parker on mandolin, Carmen Ficarra on bass and Tom Collicott on guitar. All abilities are welcome; they'll go as fast or as slow as the group wants and make sure you have the chords down. Charmaine Slaven & Charlie Beck and the Canote Brothers will be back to lead in April and May as the music continues.

March 13 - The Atlas String Band

April 10 - Charmaine Slaven & Charlie Beck

May 8 - Greg & Jere Canote

Bluegrass

 

Every Fourth Saturday, Rob Bulkley and friends host a bluegrass jam. Rob currently plays guitar and sings bluegrass with The Howdy Boys of Seattle. He has been participating in and leading jam sessions since at least 1973 – slow, fast, and everywhere in between. For several years Rob facilitated the slow jams at Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Music Kamp in Tennessee. He has a huge repertoire of singable bluegrass and country songs. Bring your favorite songs. Rob will happily call out the chords! He’ll pace this bluegrass jam according to the abilities and wishes of the participants.
