I am being transferred to a job in Vancouver this week. Does anybody know if or when there are any BG jams in or near the city. Moving there from an active picking scene in L.A. I am fearing jam withdrawal.

Hi randolin

There's a great bluegrass jam held weekly in Vancouver organized by the Pacific Bluegrass and Heritage Society. Check out the website:

http://www.pacificbluegrass.bc.ca/

Normally throughout the year the jams are held at a club in the city. However, during the summer it's moved to a nearby park. Once you get to the city, contact someone at the address given on the site and I'm sure they can give you all of the details.

I love it! My wife is about to start grad school in Vancouver, so I checked out the site. The first mandolin ad: lessons with John Reischman! I am soooo there!

Right on Jason
back to the great white north eh? #I am sure you are looking forward to getting back to the land of Tim Hortons (by the way I am drink one as I type this) and decent beer. #Good luck with the move, and the lessons with JR. #I am going to be out Vancouver way whenever my Heiden is ready, so I will drop you a line. #Maybe we could head down this weekly bluegrass jam.

Randolin:

Hey, I spend a lot of time in Vancouver on business myself. Maybe we can get together and you can finish teaching me Fisher's Hornpipe.

Good luck in Vancouver.
