What we’re about
Updated July 2025
Sierra Foothills acoustic eclectics! All styles acoustic - Irish, Bluegrass, Folk-rock, Renaissance, Ballads, Blues, Power Acoustic Anthems!
COARSEGOLD is the center - the circle reaches out to Mariposa, Northfork, Oakhurst, Bootjack, Chowchilla, Madera, and Fresno.
Plenty of room here for multiple jams at the Blue Sky Ranch.
Voices and voices, guitars, mandolins, fiddles, flutes, concertinas. basses(acoustic, upright or electric), harmonicas and an occasional keyboard are welcome.
(If you play something else you feel would fit in, talk to me about it.
We have had more exotic instruments than these listed.)
Meet with other local fans and musicians who love that unplugged sound.
This music jam and potluck has started in 2007 in Sylmar and now the Ranch and Studio are moving to Coarsegold, California and expanding (to 7+ acres).
We're pretty easy-going and we expect the same from all our jammers.
Bring quality food and enjoy everyone else's contributions as well.
Respect the song-leader when it's their turn and they will return the honor.
We have all levels of player on-board. That's how we keep the music going and growing here and across the Folk-i-verse.
Please RSVP and if you can't make it, please CANCEL so someone else can get in.
If you think I've missed something crucial, let me know and I'll consider it.
Music & Blessings,
Nick aka The Head Ranchhand, aka Professor Rockstar
