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.

We are starting up in-person sing arounds, but Golden Link will still be hosting virtual sing-arounds on Zoom.

Virtual sing arounds actually provide some advantages over in-person sing arounds as well. We‘ve seen participation from people around the United States and around the world. Even for people who live close by, sometimes travel to our in-person sing arounds can be an impediment to attending, especially on work nights. So, due to the success of the current Zoom sing arounds, we plan to continue the virtual sing arounds in addition to the in-person sing arounds even when things return to normal. This would allow many more people to participate than we see in our in-person sing arounds.

Jul 12 (Tue): virtual sing around, Leader: Tim Rybinski
Jul 19 (Tue): Theme: Love won or lost, Leader: Vern Lindberg
Jul 26 (Tue): virtual sing around, Leader: Sandra Condry
Aug 2 (Tue): virtual sing around, Leader: Sandra Condry
Aug 9 (Tue): virtual sing around, Leader: Janice Hanson
Aug 16 (Tue): virtual sing around, Leader: Sue Hengelsberg

MEETING TIME:

COVID Policy:
Proof of vaccination required; masks are optional.

Some observations on the current state of COVID from Roland and Janine Tebeau-Jemerson, both retired nurses:
“We’re encouraging masking although not requiring it knowing that the new variants are highly transmissible, it’s being compared to measles. Vaccines are playing very little in the spread or prevention but decrease the severity of the illness. From what we’re reading, BA.4 &BA.5 are the big concern now. Looks like it‘s predicted to peak in mid to late July”.

Traditional American Music, folk and traditional musics from a variety of sources including early country recordings from the 20s and 30s.

COVID Policy:
It's been great seeing things open up for all musicians but we're still playing it smart with masking when needed, due to the uber-contagious Omicron variants still active out there. Several musicians have recently tested positive and we wish them very speedy recoveries and mild symptoms while they quarantine.

There is no better place to learn music than the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop. PSGW is a camp for all acoustic instruments and genres.

Some classes and instructors in this session: Celtic DADGAD Guitar (Nancy Conescu), Teach Your Harp to Speak Fiddle, Accordion, and Banjo (Mark Graham), Theory Applied to Guitar (Nina Gerber), and beginning classes in guitar (Kat Bula), blues harmonica (Phil Wiggins), and mandolin (Marla Fibish).

NOTE: Camp is now full, but you can still register to be on the waiting list.

COVID Policy: Reminder--our ability to have PSGW Summer Camps will depend on whether we can confidently provide a safe environment given the ever-fluid realities of COVID. But at this point, fingers always crossed, we are hopeful enough to move forward.

On the second Sunday of every month youth brighten up the Hostel Cafe courtyard with Irish music. Please come down and listen in as they learn Irish tunes and jam together. Enjoy some Portland-made brews and locally sourced foods while you do it!

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.
