Cajun Jam: <\/span>March 12 & April 2nd, 2026 4PM – 6:00 PM\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

Venez jammer de la musique Cajun!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The Jam is open to all levels of ability and familiarity with Cajun music. \u00a0We plan to begin playing in <\/span>the keys of <\/span>D\/A, <\/span>so <\/span>fiddlers <\/span>don\u2019t<\/span> have to \u201c<\/span>tune down<\/span>\u201d<\/span> as is often the preference when playing <\/span>the same <\/span>tunes in C\/G, making it easier to play and chord on new tunes. \u00a0<\/span>Guitarists may want to have a capo<\/span> to <\/span>avoid bar\/choke chords<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

A<\/span>ccordionists <\/span>will be Tom Nickel (<\/span>Cajun Strangers<\/span>) and <\/span>Tom Klein<\/span> (Cajun Spice Band). \u00a0<\/span>But<\/span> we hope there will be a few others! \u00a0<\/span>Fiddlers and guitarists <\/span>from Madison\u2019s Cajun band community, past and present, will <\/span>support <\/span>those sections. \u00a0<\/span>MUSO has a piano and upright bass. \u00a0<\/span>Mandolins and other string instruments most welcome. \u00a0Unfortunately, banjos are not played in Cajun music, but <\/span>we\u2019d<\/span> not turn a chording banjo away. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There will be a list of tunes <\/span>we <\/span>played <\/span>in earlier jams.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>W<\/span>e will have for a <\/span>few songs <\/span>the <\/span>words and chords. \u00a0Note<\/span>,<\/span> Cajun music <\/span>is <\/span>typically played by ear, so bring your well-tuned ears along! \u00a0<\/span>Do not<\/span> hesitate to suggest tunes you know or have heard and would like to try out either as musician or vocalist. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>

Questions and <\/span>suggestions, including of tunes you hope to play: email <\/span>karencleoma@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
