The Living Tradition offers monthly jam sessions that allow musicians (and singers) to learn, practice, and enjoy traditional music in a relaxed atmosphere.  Jams start around 5 PM on the 4th Saturday before the contra dance at the Anaheim Downtown Community Center, 250 E. Center St., in Anaheim. 

Additional jams can be held at other locations, as noted below.

Our participants play a wide array of instruments, from accordions to zithers, and a variety of traditional folk tunes, mostly from the Fiddlers’ Fake Book (by David Brody) and the Portland Collection (by Susan Songer).  Come join us! 

• Open to all ages and levels of experience.

• Vocalists and song circles are also welcome. 

• We begin with a slow jam to encourage novices.

• Our fast jam sessions challenge old-timers.

• No-cost.
