On Sunday afternoons, the Hostel Café in Portland, Oregon provides a friendly setting for this TrailJams Irish traditional tune session. TrailJams is a music community focused on making acoustic music together outside for the enjoyment of the musicians and of people passing by. The cozy café makes a great place to keep the music going in the winter. In better weather, the tune playing moves out to the café’s courtyard. Guests of the Hostel Café and the adjoining Northwest Portland Hostel are likely to settle at one of the nearby tables to enjoy the music.

COVID Policy:
Please be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 if you are joining this session — that is a request, not a requirement.

We are excited to announce we will have Tracy Grammer come perform at a Marxhouse Concert on Sunday 2-22-26! We have followed Tracy’s music since she was with her husband Dave Carter from 1998-2002, suggested donation $25-30. Tragically he died and Tracy carried on his and her legacy of postmodern mythic American folk. She toured playing their music and over time released several archival and solo recordings. She has continued to grow and perfect her songwriting skills and her mastery of the guitar and violin. Luckily she is with us as part of a tour in PDX to play at Winterfolk 2026 at Alberta Rose as a benefit concert for Portland’s Transition Projects which she has headlined many times. We have seen her at Winterfolk most recently last year and she continues to amaze us in the depth of her songwriting skills and the emotional journey of her music and stories. To add to her amazing talents she became involved in acting since 2018 in community and regional theaters. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, please contact us to be on the Sign-Up List Email: marxhouseconcerts@comcast.net Phone: 503-422-0657 Location: 3153 SE Taylor St. 97214. Snacks & Drinks: light snacks are gratis, wine or beer for a $3 donation. Covid Safety: We would like folks vaccinated and boosted per CDC guidelines for this event. We encourage mask usage but are no longer requiring it. Please feel free to wear them for your own comfort level as this is an indoor event

Settle in every Tuesday evening for a perfect pairing of craft beer and toe-tapping bluegrass. Tomorrow’s Verse Taproom transforms into a cozy community stage where local pickers and traveling troubadours bring banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and sweet harmonies to life. With an ever-rotating lineup of talent, each week promises something fresh—sometimes rowdy, sometimes soulful, always authentic.

Grab a pint from our wide selection of brews, pull up a chair with friends (or make new ones), and let the music carry you into the night. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of bluegrass or just here for the good vibes, it’s a Tuesday tradition worth raising a glass to.

Pacific Crest Community School
7:00 PM
More Info
Less Info
If you would like to build your old-time music repertoire while meeting and playing with others, then this class is for you. Tier Pricing: $80-300.

We meet for eight weeks and learn six old-time tunes and songs. Get group instruction on fiddle, clawhammer banjo, or guitar (basses, ukulele, and mandolin players may join the fiddle or guitar sections with advance approval).

We start each lesson in a large group, and the instructors play the tune we will work on that evening. Then, we slow it down and all sing the melody together to learn it by ear. We separate into different classrooms for group lessons on each instrument. Finally, we come back together and play the tune all together.

At the fourth meeting, we review the first three tunes and focus on harmony singing. For the final class meeting, we will meet early for a big community dinner and will play all the tunes we have learned during the session. In addition to class meetings, enrolled students will have access to source recordings, demonstration videos, guitar chord charts, and banjo tabs for each tune we teach.

Instructors are Maggie Lind – clawhammer banjo, Patrick Lind – guitar, Sophie Enloe –fiddle. Bass, ukulele, and mandolin players are welcome.

Previous experience on your instrument is required. If you are playing in the fiddle or banjo sections, you should be able to play several tunes in G/A and D/C tunings and be fairly comfortable picking out melody notes by ear, and we are working on developing this skill as well. Guitarists should have a capo, be familiar with the following open position chords: A, C, D, E, F, G, and be able to play the bass note/after strum or “boom chuck” technique.

Covid Policy:
We ask that you are vaccinated and current on your boosters to attend class. We do not require masking, but it is encouraged and welcomed if you feel compromised in any way.
