The Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum in Kelseyville hosts the next First Sunday of the Month Fiddlers Jam on September 7th. Although there will be fiddlers galore, you might also find some guitars, a bass, a mandolin, an accordion, an autoharp, or even a drummer. It’s always a surprise who shows up to play. Celebrating Americana music, you will be treated to “old timey” tunes and some sing-alongs. Last month attendees were treated to some fast-paced zydeco. Come ready to clap your hands, tap your toes, and get up and dance!
As always, the fun begins at the museum at 11:00 a.m. with the Fiddlers playing in the barn from 12 noon through 2 p.m. Donations benefit the Ely Stage Stop and the Old Time Fiddlers Association. This free, family friendly event can be enjoyed by all, young and old alike. Come early to enjoy all of the latest museum acquisitions and displays. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on one of our beautiful picnic tables. Buy tickets for the next table to be raffled off and also for a surprise basket to be raffled during the fiddling that day. Enjoy the music with beverages and tasty treats provided by the docents. Bring your own wine and sip it in Ely Stage Stop wine glasses that are available for purchase.
