Sept 11, 2014 Special Event - Raleigh Jam Goes to Gizmo Brewpub

Join the Raleigh Ukulele Jam for a special event at Gizmo Brew Works, a small craft brewery in our neighborhood, on Thursday, September 11.  Just bring your Ukulele and I will bring the music books.  We will meet there at 6:30 pm for jamming and some beer tasting for those who want to indulge. 

This is a great little place started by a few local young people.  It’s tucked in the back of a small industrial park, nothing fancy, just great beer and fun people.  Gizmo Brew Works is located in the Umstead industrial park off Glenwood near I-540, just a couple of miles from our Regular Uke Jam location.  Note that they serve beer, water, and sodas only, great stuff all brewed on-site…but no food. 

This is in part a first anniversary celebration for the Raleigh Jam, so there will be cake!  I have attached the link to their website and a map showing the location, close to I-540 off Glenwood, its easy to get there from anywhere in the triangle.

At the last open mike, Jules and I did a couple of new songs (21st century), Home by JohnnySwim and Southern Girl by Amos Lee.  I got a couple of requests to post the music for these and bring them to a  future Jam so I am posting them here today..........Enjoy

The open mike last night was a lot of fun. We did not have a big crowd but we had a lot of great songs and the folks there really enjoyed the performances. We had some of the usual performers from the Jam, but also a couple of first time performers. Always great to see someone step up and take that risk to perform in front of a group.
I was lucky enough to get my favorite drummer to join me and J on a couple of new songs. Always working to drag the Jam into the 21st century, J found us a couple of very recent songs to do by Amos Lee and Johnnyswim . We also had several classics from the 60s and earlier Uke classics.
I think the next 5th Thursday Jam will occur in October, so start planning and practicing now.

Remember that next Thursday is the first Thursday of August, so we will be Jamming that night.             See you there.
