We are entering into an area of extreme uncertainty due to the Corona virus pandemic. Public gatherings are still banned and are being replaced by online or live-streamed events.
I will do my best to continue to report on any online or live-streamed events that I am aware of, but I can not be sure to have accurate information in this fast-moving situation.
Best wishes for your good health,

Artichoke Community Music
Every Tuesday from Apr 26 through May 31, led by Steve Cheseborough, $50 for six classes. ONLINE CLASS VIA ZOOM.
The wonderful standard "Corrine, Corrina," written by bluesman Bo Carter in 1928 and later covered by many other artists in various genres, is a great antidote to worrying about Corona! We‘ll try to get everyone playing and singing it. The instructor will teach the guitar part (simple, easy to sing along with) and the harmonica part (challenging but fun) and a bunch of verses. If you want to join us on another instrument, come on in! Unfortunately Zoom doesn‘t really allow for ensemble playing but we‘ll try see how it goes. (harmonica or guitar, and singing, possible other instruments) And after the restrictions are released we‘ll have to try getting together to jam on it in person! Contact instructor Steve Cheseborough, chezztone@gmail.com, with any questions.
Every Sunday, hosted by Patrick Connell and Kaden Hurst, $15 drop-in.
Ever wonder what makes a bluegrass jam sound organized and deliberate, like a band, even when it‘s just a casual jam? The essence of bluegrass is informality, but there is something inherently magical about how the players organize, differentiating it from being a twang-heavy song circle.
We cover kick-offs, turnarounds, soloing, and the general principles of leading a song within a group of friends or strangers.
Of course, we always end up learning new material in a session, but the focus is more on what to do with the song once we‘ve learned it, sharpening our ability to play it within a group of other bluegrass musicians, in a way that is compatible with other folks‘ skill sets.
Bring your instrument and an open-mind, and leave with the tools to be a bluegrass champ.
Every other Sunday from Apr 19 through May 31, led by Tracy Kim, $120 for four workshops. Welcome to the lovely world of solo jazz guitar! In this 4 week course, Tracy takes 4 different songs ranging from jazz standards and teaches the many various approaches to creating simple and beautiful solo jazz guitar arrangements.
ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM. Tracy will send a link to access the workshop once you are registered.
Every Sunday from 2 to 5 pm, this is an ongoing jam open to all ages and levels, acoustic only. The Ladd Taphouse has a full menu, over 40 taps, and full bar.
Every Sunday, 2-4 pm, music and songwriting lessons for Armed Forces veterans; guitars are available, drop-in, free. Info: 503-232-8845 or www.artichokemusic.org/calendar

Every 1st Saturday, a once monthly old time jam, hosted by Martha Stone, $5, ages 8 and up.
We will be playing acoustic Americana music, with an emphasis on old time Appalachian fiddle tunes. Old time is different from bluegrass in that no one takes a break (solo), everyone plays all the time, so you get a lot of practice! Our format is simple, each person in the group gets to choose a tune (you can pass), tell everyone what key it’s in, and off we go! Being polite is mandatory, we’re here to encourage, not criticize.
This is not an instructional class, so you should already be able to play a few tunes up to speed on your instrument. It is homegrown music as it was meant to be and promises to be as enjoyable to all.
Led by Avery Hill, for all levels, fun and familiar songs in a joyful atmosphere. For those who are able to make a donation of the usual $10 per jam, or whatever you can and choose, you can send money electronically via Venmo @songbysong or PayPal to avery@learnsongbysong.com.

Artichoke Community Music
Every other Sunday, from Apr 26 through Jun 7, led by Tracy Kim, $120 for four workshops. ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM. Tracy will send a link to access the workshop once you are registered.
Sunday Easy Swing started a few years ago as a weekly informal workshop and jam session. All instruments and levels get the chance to learn and jam in a relaxed setting.
The idea was simple: to teach/analyze/learn and jam on classic swing repertoire starting with the jazz/blues and then into songs of the Great American Songbook (Gershwin, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, etc).
Every Sunday, hosted by Patrick Connell and Kaden Hurst, $15 drop-in.
Ever wonder what makes a bluegrass jam sound organized and deliberate, like a band, even when it‘s just a casual jam? The essence of bluegrass is informality, but there is something inherently magical about how the players organize, differentiating it from being a twang-heavy song circle.
We cover kick-offs, turnarounds, soloing, and the general principles of leading a song within a group of friends or strangers.
Of course, we always end up learning new material in a session, but the focus is more on what to do with the song once we‘ve learned it, sharpening our ability to play it within a group of other bluegrass musicians, in a way that is compatible with other folks‘ skill sets.
Bring your instrument and an open-mind, and leave with the tools to be a bluegrass champ.
Artichoke Community Music
Every other Sunday, from Apr 26 through Jun 7, led by Tracy Kim, $120 for four workshops. ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM. Tracy will send a link to access the workshop once you are registered.
