Dilworth Coffee Shop, Quail Corners, Jam Session, Australian bass player, bluegrass jam
Pete at Dilworth Coffee Shop in Quail Corners Shopping Center has offered his coffee shop for a bluegrass jam. John Werner, an Australian bass player in a bluegrass band, is visiting Charlotte and NC later in March and April 2008. John wants to soak up the bluegrass experience in NC and participate in some jam sessions. He is also hoping someone will let him play their upright bass. I have sent this information to The High Lonesome Strings Bluegrass Association, The Charlotte Folk Society and to some local bluegrass musicians. If you have any interest in a bluegrass jam at Dilworth Coffee Shop, let me know.
Here is a link to John Werner’s website and below a picture of his band:

Here it is mid-May and we’ve been jamming for over a month. The more the merrier, of course. We now start at six p.m. and play ’til 8:30.
Come on by!
