Mountain Man Music Jam at Big Oak Canyon, Orange County February 12, 2011

An Acoustic Jam/Drum Circle – A free interactive and improvisational musical program for everyone!

Gather around the campfire and bring your favorite acoustic instrument to this secluded oak woodland in Silverado Canyon where springs dribble, bats chirp, coyotes howl, and owls hoot. Join nature's chorus and bow a fiddle, blow a harmonica, tap a drum, pluck a guitar, sing, hum, or clap your hands. Let the sweet melody fill the air. Everyone is encouraged to participate. We gather around a large fire ring near the stables.

Some of the musical genres that have been played at past events include: Folk, Bluegrass, Americana, Scottish, Irish, Folk Rock, Classic Rock, Gypsy Jazz, Tribal Rhythms, Jazz Fusion, International Fusion, and random stream of consciousness.

Supplies: Acoustic instruments only. No amplification allowed. Musical instrument examples include harp, banjo, accordion, spoons, jaw harp, saw, washboard, tribal drum, bongos, clapper stick, shaker, flute, clarinet, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, dulcimer, and whatever else you can imagine.
