Led by Joe Offer, new Zoom link posted every week, just before doors open: https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=168014&messages=37.

Sessions are led by Marina Dodgson (fiddle) and Maurice Condie (guitar). These are open access sessions, so there’s no need to book in advance, you’re welcome to just turn up and join in!

We believe great things happen when we play tunes together! People connect with each other and make friends, and we keep our music traditions alive by sharing tunes and passing them on. What’s more, playing tunes can make you feel happy, and if you do it often enough, you’ll notice that you are getting better at playing your instrument too!

It turns out that you don’t even have to be in the same place…great things still happen when we play music together, online from the comfort of your own home.

Phoenix Folk Ltd exists to promote participation and performance in folk and acoustic music, song and dance across the North East of England. We aim to be a friendly face of folk music, to help keep alive the great traditions of folk music and to encourage talent and personal musical development.

Everyone is muted, which means that you hear your own instrument, completing a trio with our fiddle and guitar. You can play the tune, or try some harmony!

Led by Anne Weiss, this fun class will help you improve your harmony skills, $80 for three weeks or $30 drop-in, all ages, experienced and inexperienced (and in between) singers welcome. Register at the Artichoke Music website using the link below.

Ooooh, you KNOW you love to sing harmony! Or want to! Come enjoy group singing and improve your harmony skills in this fun class, using songs and styles from around the world. If you can hold a melody- or a harmony–or both– this class is for you!

Sight reading ability welcome but not required. We will learn many songs by ear and some with the help of sheet music.

Parent friendly! Kids under 12 free with adult registration. Kids can come sing or bring self entertainment for the duration of class.

LOCATION: The Green House - 7320 SE Mill, Portland OR

Tony Becker of San Jose, California and Mark Wallis of Gloucester, England host this Transatlantic session for all interested parties on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM UK time. For American visitors, please note we are now all on standard ‘winter‘ time, so that is 12:00 PM Pacific in the USA.

Open to all who play traditional Irish music and It has the obvious limitations of Zoom in that only one musician can play at a time. But we go round the ‘room’ and take it in turns - no pressure though and the baton can be passed if you just want to listen. We just play for a couple of hours.

On a good day we have a variety of instruments from pipes to Melodeon, banjo to fiddle and it can be a good way to pick up tunes. It is very friendly and we welcome everyone. The only criterion is we try to stick to Irish traditional.

Join Portland’s all age + all level weekly uke social featuring rotating hosts & lots of friendly faces at our new location. Follow us on Facebook for weekly information.

Due to weekly online play list changes, an electronic tablet, laptop, or smart phone is highly recommended.

A donation of $5 is requested weekly, to cover rental costs & future workshops.

The Wilder Flower blends folk, Americana, bluegrass, and old-time influence into something new and fluid. They thrive vocally on three-part harmonies, whether a two-chord old-time ballad, or a modern, minor-filled melody, and instrumentally feature bluegrass banjo tunes, fiddle and clawhammer string-band songs, flatpicking guitar, and everything in between. Suggested donation $20, all proceeds go to musicians (doors open at 6:30). This is an OUTDOOR concert. Reservations required, RSVP to KIM(*at*)KIMcLaughlin.com Hart House is about six blocks south of SW 185th and Farmington.
