SUMMARY:Tony Trischka's EarlJam featuring Michael Daves
DESCRIPTION:Tony Trischka is considered the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 50 years\, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument. \nTony will be honoring the music of Earl Scruggs\, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass\, or\, in Tony’s opinion\, in any genre. Trischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford\, and he has transcribed and recorded Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a number of these…many songs that Earl had never recorded. His latest album\, EarlJam: A Tribute to Earl Scruggs\, was nominated for a 2025 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and features some of the biggest names in bluegrass. “Earl is my North Star\, a lifetime pathway”. \nOpening for Tony will be Farayi.

SUMMARY:Remnant Old Time Jam
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Juliana Bernardi. All levels welcome but not a slow jam\, per se. \nLil’ summary: If you’ve played with me before PLEASE COME DOWN AGAIN I LOVE YOU ALL. If you haven’t\, this is a VERY chill Old-Time jam where everyone has the opportunity to call a tune or sing a song. Bring your instruments\, your vocals\, and all your lovely and quirky personalities that make the magical cesspool of weirdos and creatives we all love so much!
