Welcome to the Slo Jam Picking Parlor web site.
Better known as the "Friday Night Slow Jam", we usually meet Friday nights from 7:30 to 11:00 pm, somewhere in the Orlando Area.
We use this jam to teach each other new tunes at a slower pace than our regular Wednesday tunes. It is a great for those wanting to learn old-time and contra dance music and have fun doing it. You won't be put on the spot to solo.
The pickin' parlor location rotates from home to home, just to keep the neighbors and police off our trail. So Contact us to get on the mailing list for the next jam.
We favor Old Time Mountain Music but put up with a bit of Irish and Contra Dance music. We even sneak in a few folk and cowboy songs. If you can play it through twice the same way, we'll try to learn it !! (that has not happened yet.)
As you may have guessed, traditional Acoustic instruments are the norm. We are teaching each other fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and frailing banjo. We need help from bass and bodhran to keep the rhythm. Piano, penny whistles and other instruments are welcome to join us !
