Pedal Steel Jam #3 - Los Angeles, CA - Saturday, June 28th

Post by George Biner »

I am very excited that we have secured another date (thanks, C Bryant) at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ship #1310 in beautiful downtown Burbank, California, for another pedal steel guitar jam -- oh my, we gonna have a time!

These jams are really something special -- we've had some great players drop by previously - these are not people you may not mix with every day -- to be able to sit there and hear their great musical ideas and technique up close is really an experience -- I think we all look for good music to experience, well this is worth the effort

If you are learning the pedal steel, this is a wonderful opportunity to get some friendly tips from the pros -- a shortcut to your journey, maybe

Bring your guitar and amp -- this is a very friendly and supportive gathering -- don't worry, no matter what you play, it will be a good experience

some guest players we've had / may have:
Jay Dee Maness, Doug Livingston, Skip Edwards, John McDuffy, Mark McConville, Peter Freiberger, John Corzine

Please plan on attending and support this effort to advance pedal steel guitar! And please spread the word to your friends
