The Jammin Cabin
The Jammin’ Cabin has grown out of a love of music and life and as such has brought another dimension of the arts to Pinecroft. A jam is defined as a musical session where musicians gather and play without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements: improvisation . Sessions grew slowly around the firepit in the evenings in the summer of 2008 and as the weather got cooler moved into a cabin on the property across from the pottery studio. One of the first cabins on the property the jam sessions have breathed new life and a sense of purpose into the cabin.
The sessions are always lively, unstructured and foremost they are fun. Musicians from the area congregate here most Saturdays and Sundays to “ jam “ 1-4 pm. . Memorable music has been made, usually of the bluegrass/folk/country genre, but one might hear anything. One also never knows who might show up at the Cabin. Valdy has jammed here as has Terry Sumsion.

2009 saw the Jammin Cabin Stage come to life….on the edge of the pond facing a grassy clearing the music drifts across the water and sweeps under the trees. Customers of the tearoom wander across the pond to enjoy the summer jams in a relaxed peaceful setting. Saturdays and Sundays 1-4 pm during good weather the musicians will flock to the stage and there is no charge to pull up a lawn chair or to bring your own . Donations are gratefully and happily accepted to support the ongoing music program, but they are strictly voluntary. Several summer concerts are planned for the 2010 outdoor jam season which will be ticketed events with a cap on numbers to maintain the intimate, relaxed atmosphere of the location. Confirmed dates for these events and performers can be found on the events page calendar or at the Jammin blog at www.jammininthecabin.blogspot.com Remember, if you play an instrument bring it along and jam at the cabin or on the stage. All are welcome! Please no alcohol, coolers or smoking on the property! |
