Trail Work & Tunes

Tuesday, June, 18 at 4pm

Bring your work gloves, picnic dinner, and instruments! You can come for all...or just a part of the fun!

At 4pm, set out with Falmouth Land Trust to do some trail work at the edge of FSP's property.

And then at 5:30pm, join Emily Troll, Owen Marshall, and the Rage Potatoes for a fiddle tunes musical jam hour! Bring instruments of any kind. There's room for everyone and every level. Even if you've never played fiddle music before, come tap your feet, listen along, and you may find yourself inspired to join in by the end. Listeners and cheerleaders are welcome. 

A few technical details about what to expect: We will play mostly in the keys of D, G, and A. We'll play at a variety of tempos depending on who shows up, but for sure, some of our playing will be nice and slow. The tune list will be shared here soon!
