Free Community Jam Sessions

FREE
Folk Music in action! Bring your voices, your instruments, and your interest to the Free Community Jam Sessions, led by Lorraine and Bennett Hammond, at the Mansfield Public Library on February 12, 19, and 26 from Noon to 2:00 P.M. The Hammonds are folk performers who have a knack for encouraging people to play music together. Their annual course at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, called How to Survive and Thrive in Jam Sessions, draws players and would-be players from around the country.
All ages and abilities will be welcomed and encouraged to join in, or simply to listen and enjoy, and maybe learn a new song or two as the Hammonds play and sing easy favorites. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Mansfield Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. For further information and registration call the library at 508-261-7380
or stop by the circulation desk. If special accommodations are needed for any library program, requests should be made at least four weeks in advance..
