Slow Jams

UVMC Slow Jams are a low-pressure session welcoming to all levels and instruments. Play along at a gentle tempo to your favorite fiddle tunes from a variety of genres and styles, including Irish, New England, Quebecois, Old Time, and more. Amy Cann and George Fowler will lead our sessions, with occasional guests joining in.

We don’t prepare a list of tunes in advance, but instead ask participants to come prepared to make at least one request. You can request tunes using the RSVP form, or during the event. Take a look at our tune list below for a history of what we’ve played at each session, and a common tune list. Requests from the list and common New England repertoire tunes are most likely to be included, though we welcome new tunes and will do our best with requests!

Payment for these events is optional, and appreciated! Your voluntary contribution to the basket (online or in person) makes it possible for the event to remain free for newcomers & those who are unable to pay.

When possible, we will offer hybrid participation in our in-person events. Please RSVP at least 24 hours in advance to receive the Zoom link.
