The next Bluegrass Club Jam will be held on Sunday, May 25, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Foothill Center. All Villages residents and their guests are invited to attend. This is a free event. We will spend the afternoon playing Bluegrass, Vintage Country, and Gospel Music. You are welcome to bring your acoustic instruments to play along, sing, or just relax and listen to the music. The jam will be led by members of the Scotch Creek Band that is based here in The Villages. Sometime before the jam, a link to song lyrics and chords will be sent out to all on the Bluegrass Club mailing list. If you are not already on the list, please contact Alan Rich at alanrichgis@gmail.com.
Bluegrass music was derived from old time and mountain music from Appalachia and popularized by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys. Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs further popularized it with their theme song for the “Beverly Hillbillies” television show and the movie “Bonnie and Clyde.”
