The SAMW 2012 Reunion and 2013 Registration get-together will be on January 6, 2013 at UMass Boston. 1 p.m.
You may have read rapturous rhapsodies about SummerAcousticMusicWeek, but if you ain’t been there, you just don’t know. For the curious, there is a real taste of SAMW at our annual January reunion and pre-registration, where old friends and new ones come to jam and mingle and snack and hear about next Summer’s line-up. Come on down. You’ll be right at home.

Jam sessions can be intimidating. Learn how to hold your own, recognize keys and chord changes, and fit right in. We’ll also cover the etiquette and guidance of jams. We’ll help you play “off the page,” offer some individual coaching, and mostly we’ll play, play, play! All acoustic folk instruments are welcome. (Skill level – for those who feel comfortable playing at least a few tunes on their instrument).
For kids and grown-ups of all ages! Bring your acoustic instruments and we’ll play and sing familiar and not-so-familiar, but simple, songs together.
