For ten years musicians have come together at the Drayton Legion for a jam session to enjoy and play their favourite music.
On Saturday afternoons the group, consisting of 12 musicians and 18 lovers of music, enjoys a mix of classic western, bluegrass and gospel music.
Instruments producing the toe-tapping sounds include the guitar, bass, fiddle, mandolin and ukulele.
“We have people that travel up to an hour to join us at the Legion,” organizer Art Miller said.
Jammers alternate between jam sessions at the Fergus, Arthur and Drayton Legions. The Fergus Legion hosts jammers on the first Saturday of the month and the Arthur Legion hosts on the second Saturday. Those interested meet on the third Saturday of the month at the Drayton Legion. Jam sessions run from 2 to 5pm at each location.
The musicians will have one last jam session in April at each location before breaking for the summer. The final session at the Drayton Legion will be on April 21. Jammin’ will resume at each location in the fall.
“There is a no admission charge and the Drayton jam session is a licensed event,” Miller said. “The Legion is wheelchair accessible and there is plenty of parking.”
Refreshments and snacks are served at the Drayton jam, sponsored by Miller and the Drayton Legion. Everyone is welcome.
The Drayton Legion is located at 15 Elm Street. For more information contact Miller at 519-638-3324.
