MOUNTAIN STRING BAND JAM
At the Halyard Brewing Company
First Thursdays 6:30 - 8:30
Sarah and John of High-Low-Jack have been invited to lead an old time jam at Halyard's! This will be a full speed jam for acoustic string players who play at a strong intermediate or advanced level of playing. All are welcome to sit in or hang out and enjoy Halyard's delicious ginger beer (and locally sourced charcuterie and cheeses!) from the prohibition era! We'll be playing southern old time music with New England and French Canadian styles spicing the mix! If you have any questions, please contact us for more information, or, we'll see you there!
