Jazz Singers

**Do you want to play and grow with a band, without the commitment of starting a band? Join us for our Blues Jams. Great place to network with other musicians.** \*\*$10 for at the door\*\* \*\*Free for Singers and Drummers\*\* **\*Members Get in free and receive other benefits\*** **[Become a Member](https://patreon.com/DoctorStrings?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink)** **Beginner to Pro Blues jam 21+ only, BYOB. Every Thursday.** This is a smaller more practice focused event at my shop. **Open to everyone and is a learning experience for most.** Just bring your instrument(Electric), no need to bring an amp we have all of that. Do not bring a pedal board with a bunch of pedals. The amps are dialed in for blues, trust me it's all there. Drums are here already, very basic kit. If you want to bring cymbals or any other drum gear, please show up early to set up. Also please be aware that other people are going to play the kit as well.

Please join the DC Electoral Working Group in phonebanking DC members for our chapter-endorsed candidates Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on DC Council. Both Janeese and Aparna are relying on grassroots donations to power their campaigns, and DC will match donations from residents 5:1, meaning a donation of $50 turns into $300 for the campaign—enough to pay for a day's worth of literature for canvassing. Janeese is neck-and-neck with her opponent on donations, who is receiving max donation checks from corporations and wealthy donors. Aparna is about 110 maximum donors (who chip in $50!) away from reaching the public matching cap! Every chapter member you're able to encourage to donate will be critical in getting Janeese and Aparna elected in June. We will meet in-person, and pizza will be provided. Please bring a charged phone and your laptop. No experience is necessary! We'll have a script and folks there to support you as you make calls! If you'd like to participate virtually or help make calls asynchronously, reach out to Brandon W on the MDC DSA Slack. Please RSVP on [Action Network](https://actionnetwork.org/events/phonebank-for-janeese-lewis-george-and-aparna-raj/) to receive further updates on this event. \* \* \* This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters. Not a Member? Please consider [becoming a Member](https://dsausa.org/join?source=Metro%20DC). Fees are on a sliding scale according to what you feel you can afford.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
