Jams
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.
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!

No-cost.
