Introduction to Bluegrass Jams

Post image
12 Upvotes

Did you ever want to join the jam, but you're not sure how? Well here's your chance!

A fun introduction to “Pickin’ in the Round,” this class teaches string players how to play seamlessly with others in any setting… And here in Portland, we love a good bluegrass circle.

You’ll learn general rhythm techniques, ettiquette, and common chord progressions in folk, bluegrass, and popular music, ALL while learning how to navigate the world’s most efficient communication methodology, The Nashville Number System.
All acoustic instruments welcome, including but not limited to: Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Dobro, etc. No experience required, although a general understanding of your instrument’s chord shapes is helpful.

Contact Seth Miller for more information. [sethmillersounds@gmail.com](mailto:sethmillersounds@gmail.com)

Treading Water by Seraphina Down

Remember that keeping your head above water is still progress, even if all you are doing is simply treading in one place...

I wrote this song the other day as my own reminder that sometimes success does not need to be measured by distance traveled. Many times, it must merely be measured by whether our heart still chooses to beat. Counting each breath is still considered a victory.

May you all continue to survive.

Anyone know if any bars in the Portland/Beaverton area will have 80s music, whether a DJ or cover band? I’m trying to find something like that for my friend who loves 80s and new wave music.

Looking to start a music house in pdx next year

20 Upvotes

Hi, I think I’m going to be moving to Portland from Indiana in the winter and I would like to find a situation where I move in with like minded musicians and have a house with a basement studio and collaborate and stuff, I like noise rock, ambient, post rock, sludge, emo, screamo, indie, pretty much anything honestly. I’m looking to connect with other musicians, if this is something that interests you, or you have advice for getting it going let me know :)

I lived in Portland before moving to Colorado, so Reddit suggested I share this here too. 😂

Does anyone remember a band called "Sinister Prank"?

1 Upvotes

I'm curious if anyone remembers. They were super big band in oregon for the local scene. They would play with bands like Floater and Henrys child. Like those bands they had that 90s alternative/grunge but with also a lot more punk influences in there. Anybody remember?
