Greetings to all the bluegrass pickers out there. The Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library is pleased to announce our 3rd annual "Winter Bluegrass Jam" scheduled for the third Thursday of 4 months: November 16, December 21 (in 2017); & January 18, February 15 (in 2018). All are welcome, pickers and listeners alike! Shake off those winter blues and join our host, local bluegrass musician Alan Epstein. Based in Washington County, Alan has played mandolin and sung in bluegrass bands in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan and now in upstate New York. He currently teaches bluegrass classes and his local jam sessions are getting a name for themselves as being a lot of fun for both novices and veteran pickers. These programs are produced by The Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library and funded in part by the Friends of Crandall Public Library and the New York State Council on the Arts-Folk Arts Program with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
