 Posted: Tue May 12, 2009 9:40 am Post subject: Map 2009 - Where is the jam tent? |
 |
|
This is coming up!! A reminder that we have a venue change this year. The Festival is on a severely limited budget and the small pavilion is being used as a small stage for bands. That is why we had to rent a tent. The actual tent alone cost $400- to rent and is being paid for by Ithaca Guitar Works and Ludgate Farms. Please support your local sponsors and retailers.
Go pick-up a copy of the festival guide - out now all over town - we have them at Ludgate's ... if you forget to grab one, here is a map of Stewart Park for Sunday May 31 the day of the all day acoustic festival jam! The Jam Tent is close to the main entrance to keep it away from the amplified music stages.

Ithaca Festival Jam Tent 2010 - sponsored by Ithaca Guitar Works and Ludgate Farms.
http://www.guitarworks.com/ and http://www.ludgatefarms.com/
[ In case anyone is wondering: the tent rental is ~$400- these sponsoring businesses are footing the bill ]
Sunday June 6th 2010 from 11:30 am until 9:00 pm at Stewart Park at the Jam Tent (near the entrance and family fun tent). We have 6 jams again this year. These are all jams loosely related to sessions and sings that happen in and around the Ithaca area on a regular basis. Time slots and band leaders subject to change at the last minute. See this music forum thread for updates http://canaaninstitute.org/mikesmusic/viewtopic.php?p=3322#3322
11:30 am - 1:00 pm – CAJUN JAM (Traditional Cajun maybe a little Zydeco) -- The origins of Cajun music started in the north when the Acadians were forced to migrate from Nova Scotia to Louisiana in the late 1700's. This is a rich and unique American music style. This will be an open acoustic only instrumental jam as are all the others in the Ithaca Festival Jam Tent listed below. Contact person: Greg Grodem rjgreg@lightlink.com
1:00 PM - 2:30 pm --SINGING JAM (Folk Songs) -- This is a sing-a-long, where anyone can lead. Songs your parents sang when you were little, songs you sang at camp, songs that mean a lot to you right now. Instruments are welcome for back up, but the focus for this jam is on voices. Bring a song to share, chime in on a chorus or just listen, everyone is welcome! Contacts: Jim Harper jimh@jhdesigns.com or Richie Holtz richard_holtz@verizon.net
2:30 pm - 4:00 pm -- OLD-TIME JAM (Appalachian Fiddle Tunes) -- Southern old-time music was born when African rhythms and syncopation began to influence the fiddle dance tune tradition. Old-time jams often include guitar, clawhammer banjo, fiddle, mandolin, dulcimer, voices, and tapping feet to keep the rhythm. Tunes are usually passed along by oral tradition, but chord charts are available for many of the tunes, and musicians of any level are welcome. The emphasis is on getting into a groove for each tune, allowing each musician room to improvise within the structure of the tune. Contact: Laura Taylor lbt1@cornell.edu
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm – BLUEGRASS JAM (Traditional Bluegrass) -- Bluegrass is American roots music comprising a rich fusion of traditions from the British Isles, jazz, blues, and country. This jam features fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, dobro, upright bass, and vocals, and each instrument has the opportunity to improvise around the melody in wildly creative ways. All skill levels are welcome! Contact: Philip Robinson philip.robinson@cornell.edu
5:30 pm -7:00 pm – CONTRA TUNE JAM (New England Fiddle Dance Tunes) -- We will be playing "fiddle tunes" suitable for contra or square dancing. These tunes originate from New England, Canada, British Isles and parts of Europe . This is an open instrumental jam where typical instruments are fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo (4 or 5 string), accordion, acoustic bass and occasional woodwinds such as flute or clarinet. This group typically works from the Ithaca "YFN tuneset". All skill levels welcome, come join us! Contact person: Michael Ludgate michael.ludgate@gmail.com
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm -- IRISH SESSION (Traditional Irish) -- This session will be run in traditional Irish session style, which is generally full speed ahead and often stringing 2 or 3 tunes together at a time. All skill levels welcome: the tunes are fast, but the only way to "get the feel" is to jump in and try! Contact persons: Ed McGowan, Scott Whitham or Mark Bickford scott.whitham@gmail.com

Hi Mike,
What's the story about parking when attending the Ithaca Festival? Is there a place to park where they shuttle you in, or should I be prepared to walk a distance?
Tom

PARKING AND BUSES
There are buses running constantly from downtown Ithaca to Stewart Park. Park anywhere that seems legal and take a bus/shuttle. There is also usually parking at the high school which is also within walking distance. They do charge a fee there, but it is a fund-raiser for the kids sports programs. More info here http://www.tcatbus.com/news/story/ithaca-festival-service.html
Mike
| Quote: | Sunday, June 6 - The Ithaca Festival events will be moved from the Commons to Stewart Park. TCAT will be providing regular Sunday route service. Additionally, TCAT will be providing extra buses to accommodate the large number of people going to the Festival at Stewart Park. The extra Sunday service will travel from:
• Green St. to Stewart Park
• Aldi to Stewart Park
• High School/Boynton to Stewart Park
This service will operate every 10 minutes beginning at 11:45 am with the last trip scheduled to depart Stewart Park at 9:00 pm and will cost 50¢ a ride. See map below
FARE INFORMATION
Normal fares will be charged on all of the regular route services. On Sunday, June 6, the fare for the extra Sunday service between Green St., Stewart Park, Ithaca High School/Boynton, and Aldi, will be $.50 cash fare per ride. TCAT asks that passengers plan accordingly and to enjoy the festival! |
