Description
Throughout American music history the Blues and the guitar go hand-in-hand. The five notes of the pentatonic scale can go a long way in moving listeners without needing too much knowledge in advanced music theory. As the name suggests, the form of the music relies on feel over technical facility. In this open jam session we will have fun exploring the foundational aspects of the Blues guitar with side ventures into the genres of Rock and Jazz. Any style of working guitar is welcome. If bringing an electric guitar please also come equipped with a portable amplifier. All players with a basic level of guitar playing familiarity are welcome to join.
Born into a musical family, RL Hegarty has been a live musician and multi-instrumentalist since the age of five.

Handy Award-winner and Grammy-nominated artist Paul Rishell, and Independent Music Award-winner Ernie Hawkins, as well as having studied at Berklee.
