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.

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!

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.

Joyride decided to move the accustomed first Wednesday dance at Polish Hall to the actual NYE because, well, there should be a contra dance on New Year’s Eve. So, we dance on Tuesday rather than Wednesday. Except for a final dance after midnight, there won’t be a first Wednesday dance in January.

Nearly all of our callers since Spring 2022 have opted to use gender-neutral terms in their teaching and prompting. Assume gender-neutral calling unless otherwise indicated.

COVID Policy:
Masks are now optional for dancers and performers alike.
Proof of vaccination is not required for entry to the event.
You will not need to provide contact information and sign a waiver.

In other words, at this time, attending the first Wednesday contra dance will be the same as in pre-COVID years with the exception that wearing a mask for self-protection is encouraged for those who wish to do so. Please respect others’ choices with regard to wearing or not wearing masks without judgement or prejudice.

Do you receive a reduced or fixed income? I believe that everyone has the right to access and engage in the arts in meaningful ways. While I periodically raise my teaching rates to reflect an increased cost in living, as well as an increase in experience and expertise, I believe music education should be accessible to everyone and we all benefit from an economically diverse class environment. If your income is limited or fixed, please use the code ACCESS at checkout to receive a 25% discount on the class fee.

Beyond Beginner ‘U. kulele is an advanced beginner ukulele class for players with basic skills looking to take it to the next level, led by Avery Hill., $165 for eight classes/$30 drop-in. It is part of Artichoke Community Music School, but held at an off site location - NOT at Artichoke Music.

It’s fairly easy for some folks to pick up the ?ukulele and get themselves started. However, at some point, everyone needs a bit more guidance, perhaps some accountability, and the fun and support of a community to get them beyond beginner ?ukulele skills. That’s exactly what this class is designed to do! This class will use popular and accessible songs to build up our repertoire of chords, keys, strum patterns and maybe even a fingerpicking pattern or two! Participants will receive a weekly recap email and links to practice videos to support their weekly practice between classes.

This class is recommended for players who are comfortable with:

playing songs with the chords C, F, G(7), Am, and maybe more
a basic strum pattern or two
taking risks to learn new techniques and material

Trish Anderson was born into a family of iron-faced dwarves of ineffable cuteness in a carnival outside Keokuk, Iowa. Although she soon surpassed them in both wit and stature, the lessons learned during those vagabond early years have stood her in good stead in her subsequent careers as a faro dealer, loan shark, and ultimately an influence peddler and “fixer” around Portland’s City Hall. She currently lives in retirement in the village of Muttley’s Addition. ?Janice Alexander claims to be a retired schoolteacher. She takes great pleasure in creating small people made of clay, and also in creating stories. She joined the Portland Storytellers Guild in 2015 and has been telling tales ever since. (Some based in fact, maybe, others maybe not.) Brian Rohr is a poet and performative storyteller, residing in the Pacific Northwest.

We will just go around and sing songs we have written. We‘ll start with the usual expectations around limited chatter, no pre-recorded anything, everyone welcome, numbering participants by order of arrival, welcoming any genre of music, free, and being nice kind people.

All we‘ll do is share our original tunes and enjoy other songwriters‘ unique creations. Feedback on songs may be welcome - it‘s up to the singer - but it will take place in private chat only. The VSS will be hosted by Sonya Kazen, Ken Gaines, and Paul Rippey. And maybe you - we‘ll be looking for additional hosts!

Love songs, story songs, modern folk/Americana plus a Bob Dylan Mini Tribute, a benefit for Habitat for Humanity, $15-$50 (sliding scale), doors 6:30 pm. John and Richard will each perform a short solo set of their original songs followed by a set of duets. Very individual when solo, very together when together! John Silliman Dodge John has been playing guitar, writing songs, and composing instrumental music for over 50 years. He‘s been a guitar student of Tommy Emmanuel, Richard Thompson and Pierre Bensusan and his influences range from classical to folk to rock to jazz to pop. As a result, performances feature a wide range of styles—360 degrees of guitar from Bach to Hendrix to flamenco. Richard Colombo “When we travel down those old back roads, that’s when we finally find our way” sings Portland songwriter Richard Colombo. His songs tell stories that feel as old as the hills yet remarkably new and rich with themes of love and poignant passages. Often told in the voice of a character he has created, his songs are honest, courageous and bold giving us a glimpse of a world that is not often visible.

Prepare for a performance described by the Boston Globe as “exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness.” Beyond the strings of her fiddle, Hanneke’s generous presence and passion round out her magnetism as a performer on the world stage of fiddle music. Hanneke will be joined on stage by Yann Falquet (guitar) and Tristan Clarridge (cello).

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.

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

If you would like to build your old-time music repertoire while meeting and playing with other people, then this class is for you!

We meet for 8 weeks and learn 6 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).

In addition to the class meetings, enrolled students will receive access to source recordings, demonstration videos, guitar chord charts, and banjo tabs for each of the tunes we teach. Hundreds of people have found community and friendship and we’ve learned quite a few tunes along the way. You will receive class instruction, source music, instructional videos, and one on one pointers in the lessons. Feel free to invite friends from far and wide to “audit” the class and learn the same tunes as you! Scroll down for all the details.

Cost for the 8-week session is a sliding scale $300-$80. See our Tiered Pricing and Generosity Policy. We have full and partial scholarships available!
