UkeAmericana Roots Jams
|
What is a Jam - Jam sessions are often used by musicians as a social gathering to share the music they love as well as explore new music. Jams are fun times to play music with others. These are jams, not lessons or workshops, but we will touch on some "how to's" to help us play better. Plus, the ukulele is so easy to play that even if you have never played before, we’ll show you simple chords to get you playing along right away.
We’ll even do some 50's, 70's and 80's roots songs!

What - The Roots Music in this UkeAmerican jam and the Twin Cities Ukulele Club Monday evening BUG jam is from the traditions that make up the American roots musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from from both old and new bluegrass, blues, cowboy, country, folk, rock, and rockabilly music. The BUG and UkeAmericana jams follow the same formats and use the same music. They are moderate paced jams led by Twin Cities Ukulele Club jam leaders.
BUG and UkeAmericana Roots jams include "LOVING THE OLDIES" -
A 60's tribute to the songs we grew up listening to on our transistor radios. Mickie and Bruce will provide songs from their California group, which will be shown on the screen.
