Bluegrass Music to Return to Sheridan
Pickers gather to have fun and entertain themselves and others. A wonderful way to pass some time in uptown Sheridan on a First Friday evening. Won’t you join them?
For those of you who enjoy listening to, or better yet, playing bluegrass, you will be pleased to know that the Sheridan Bluegrass Jam is returning to Sheridan beginning on Dec. 2 from 5-9 p.m. at the Sheridan Historical Society Museum.
Before the COVID19 pandemic, this Jam was held in Sheridan on the third Sunday of each month, but then the pandemic arrived and things, including this bluegrass jam, went away. With the advent of First Friday on Main Street event here in Sheridan, the Sheridan Historical Society thinks it is time to resuscitate this previously well attended monthly program.
In the past people from all walks of life came to Sheridan to take part in having all sorts of fun and making great music and vocals. It wasn’t unusual to have twenty or more pickers participating, and making some real foot stomping, toe tapping music. You don’t have to be a pro to play in this jam; just pick up your fiddle (or whatever string instrument you play) and take down your bow (or your pick), and ‘fake it till you make it!
Make sure to spend time on the First Friday on Main Street each month at the Sheridan Historical Society’s Museum, located at 315 South Main Street, in beautiful uptown Sheridan, and listen to or participate in the Sheridan Bluegrass Jam. The shows will begin about 5 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.
There is a small kitchen area if you want to bring snack foods, but you will need to bring appropriate disposable plates, cups, bowls and flatware. The Sheridan Historical Society asks you to bring your own drinks; there will be a coffeepot available, but you will need to bring the makings. And as before, no alcohol, no fussing and no cussing. Donations for the upkeep of the facility are always welcome.
