Here’s a playlist of 5 songs from Denver band, Birdnest’s live sesh. Check them out if you like Indie/Alternative/Rock. Reddit recommended posting in PortlandMusic so hopefully that’s okay to share…

Dozey Dubs from Boise, Idaho are so damn good. Time for you to check em out. Favorite band for sure and they deserve every view.

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.

May you all continue to survive.
