Jam sessions, open mics, local performances, etc.

Open Mic and/or Informal Jam (participants' choice) at the Lemon Tree Brewery first and third Saturdays in the fall (October 3 & 17, November 7 & 21, December 5 & 19). This schedule may be adjusted based on participant availability and how things generally work out.
Lemon Tree opens at 1. Setup and informal jam starts around 5. Participants' choice of performing an Open Mic set, leading a jam, just playing and singing along during the jam portions. Open Mic will have priority 7~9 but come when you can. We keep going as long as there is interest. All abilities and instruments are welcome. A keyboard is available. We have some really good performers show up, but this tends to be a pretty informal event with the emphasis on having fun. You don't have to be a pro to come play, sing, tell jokes or stories, sing along, listen, and enjoy yourself. Audience participation encouraged during the jams. *Schedule may be modified based on attendance.
Preregistration requested particularly if you want to do an Open Mic, but is not required. If you are a regular performer and want to be promoted in Facebook and/or email advertising then preregister as early as possible. Registration or questions, please email

Karaoke at the Lemon Tree Brewery is frequently held on an irregular schedule. Check the Lemon Tree Facebook page or call for updates.
"Music Circle" Informal Jam at the Lake Pleasant Public Library generally the first Sunday of every month.** (Oct. 4, Nov. 1, Dec. 6) Fall start time is 3 PM and the session typically runs 2~3 hours. All abilities and instruments are welcome. A keyboard is available. If you just know 3 chords or want to sing along, or even just listen, that's great. We are playing for our enjoyment and as a learning experience. To preregister, email . **Preregisteration not required, however if there are no preregistered/confirmed attendees, the session will be cancelled** probably without much advance notice. You can just show up, but if you are travelling any distance it would be best to contact Pete Newell ahead of time to make sure it is "on." Schedule may change or additional sessions may be scheduled based on participant availability and interest.
