Open-Stage Concert - 8 PM To get the festival under way, we’ll have an opportunity for all participants to share their musical talents and interests in an informal “open-stage” setting, followed by a general jam session. If you have a favorite tune or song you would like to share, or if you would just like to come and listen, plan to join us Friday for an evening of music and friendship. All players are welcome. If you have never performed before, this is a good place to begin: you will find an understanding, supportive, and appreciative audience. (Other instruments are welcome too!) Sign-up for performers will be at 7:45 PM. (The Open-Stage Concert is free to festival participants, $2 at the door for others.) |
