Pittsfield Open Band
Our jam sessions are free and open to all interested musicians and are held three times each month. We play jigs, reels, and waltzes as played for contra dancing. The goals are to have fun, learn more tunes, and develop our contra dance musician skills.
Most of our written repertoire is in:
(These books may also be available at SHAR Music, Herb David's, or Elderly Music.)
Our jams are held on the first, third, and fourth Saturdays from 3-6pm (4-6pm on afternoons before an evening gig - see schedule below) at the Pittsfield Grange, 3337 Ann Arbor-Saline Rd., 1/4 mile S. of I-94 exit 175, in Ann Arbor ( map ).
In addition to our regular jams, we play for contra dances and sponsor occasional workshops on contra dance musicianship. We hire an experienced dance musician to lead us when we play for dances.
