Music and dance

The Canaan Calendar page

Happy Friday!

Music — The weather is softening up a bit, so folks may be getting out more. Although we still have plenty of snow here in the hills. Take a look at my calendar of events on the website. There is a screenshot below. I only cover a small fraction of what is happening in our amazing area. I tend to focus on acoustic events like jam sessions, sing-alongs and folks dances, whatever my bands are up to in addition to what we are hosting here and similar small concerts. So take a peak.

Tonight for example, The Hands Four Dancers of Ithaca are testing out a new-to-them venue on a new day of the week. Friday contra dance at LACS. Some friends of mine are playing as Contradictions with Katy Heine calling the dances. Great musicians and caller. There is a link to tonight’s contra and other interesting things at the calendar page. O’Shanigans will play there next month - we are excited! Go give your support!

Canaan Jam Session — Come visit me on a Wednesday night. We have a friendly jam session here every week 7-9 pm. Also on the calendar - please come join.

Photography — I took a poll a few emails ago. It looks like there is interest in a photo skills basics group workshop. You can still add to the poll here. I’ll pick a day soon - probably mid April on a Saturday afternoon.

Outdoors — We live near Hammond Hill State Forest. Don’t forget, there is still a foot of snow here in the woods. If you want to hike, bring snowshoes (or skis)! You’ll have more fun and so will the folks you share the trails with.
