Kelseyville >> The Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum hosts the next First Sunday of the Month Fiddlers Jam on Sept. 7.
“Although there will be fiddlers galore, you might also find some guitars, a bass, a mandolin, an accordion, an autoharp or even a drummer,” Linda Drake stated. “It”s always a surprise who shows up to play. Celebrating Americana music, you will be treated to ”old timey” tunes and some sing-alongs. Last month attendees were treated to some fast-paced zydeco. Come ready to clap your hands, tap your toes and get up and dance.”
The event begins at 11 a.m., with the fiddlers playing in the barn from noon through 2 p.m.
Donations benefit the Ely Stage Stop and the Old Time Fiddlers Association.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch to the free-of-charge, family-friendly event.
Tickets for the next table to be raffled off will be available, as well as for a surprise basket to be raffled during the fiddling that day.
“Enjoy the music with beverages and tasty treats provided by the docents,” Drake stated.
Guests may also bring their own wine and purchase glasses.
Regular hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday.
