NYC bluegrass jams, I went to Sunny's this weekend, there were some real pro's there. Next time I would like to bring something to record it with. There is a house bass, which I occasionally jumped on from my banj0, a fiddle, two female vocalists, two great guitar players, both with excellent vocals, a dobro, a pedal steal, two banjo's (including me) and a mandolin. every one was experts, and I was the most novice, though I consider myself quite good. This is some serious bluegrass, Jordan from Astrograss tipped me off to this jam.

Brad Einhorn runs this great weekly bluegrass jam at Kilis bar in Brooklyn. All are welcome. Its a great atmosphere, and during the winter months there is a roaring fireplace you can toast marshmallows. Just be sure to keep the aisle clear to the bathroom or the bartender will give you what for!

Here is a recording from the bluegrass jams at Sunny's in Red Hook from Saturday November/22/ some really good pickers there, a young guy named Zach really stole the show that night on his mandolin, though he switched between bass. his roommates are in a really cool band called Droid which I'll write another post about, it's improvised electronica, like STS9 with horns and a NYC acid jazz edge. Anyway back to bluegrass, the songs here are classic old time jams, "Hesitation Blues," and "How Mountain Girls Can Love." The instruments are, a few guitars, a banjo a piano, mandolin and bass. Sunny's is located out by the water in red hook, its kind of hard to get to but well worth the pilgrimage to this bluegrass mecca.
