12th Annual Park Slope Old-Time and Bluegrass Jamboree

Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, 53 Prospect Park West at 2nd Street in Park Slope
Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

Sept 11-12, 2009

A day and a half of workshops, jamming and concerts of traditional American music.

Sept 11 , 8pm: James Reams & The Barnstormers  – Bluegrass  (adults $10, kids $6)
Sept 12 , 12:30pm-10pm: Workshops, jamming, concerts ($4)
The only event of its kind in the Northeast, this is the place to play and hear the best in old-time and bluegrass music. Workshops (harmony singing, fiddle, guitar, banjo and more) start at 12:30, jamming goes on all day, showcase concerts start at 6pm – all for $4 (yup, four dollars). Bring your acoustic instrument (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, stand-up bass, banjo or Dobro) – or, if you don't play an instrument, bring your ears, bring your love of American traditional music, bring your kids, bring your friends. If you haven't ever heard the ring of a banjo and the chop of a mandolin echoing through the hills and hollers of Park Slope, then you've missed one of this city's delightful incongruities.
