BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The Dan Barrow Memorial Bluegrass Jams, which run from October through May, continue at Fern Forest Nature Center (201 Lyons Rd. South, Coconut Creek 33063; 954-357-5198). The park hosts these free acoustic music sessions on the second Sunday of the month, from 2 to 4 PM. The next event will be on Sunday, November 14th.
The ongoing program got underway in the mid-1980s under the name Jammin,' then was renamed in honored of one of the founders. Now as then, the emphasis is on musicians and listeners interested primarily in bluegrass, as well as folk and mountain music. You're invited to bring your own instrument and participate, or just enjoy the performance as a listener. Either way, you'll enjoy the beautiful natural environment from the park's covered outdoor amphitheater.
Along with the monthly Sunday-afternoon jams, there will also be two special Twilight Sessions, from 5 to 7PM, on Sundays, February 27th and March 27th, in 2022.
For additional information, call Fern Forest at 954-357-5198.
