Winter Jams

Let’s see, since last we spoke, I’ve led a bunch of traditional music jams and played solo at Jesse’s in Lebanon. I’m returning to Jesse’s on Friday, March 3. And I’m leading jams in the Nelson Town Hall every week on Monday at 7pm and the Peterborough Town House every first Saturday of the month at 6:30pm. And now, here’s what we’ve been playing at the Nelson and Peterborough jams!
