If you think this lighting looks festive, you should have heard the above musicians playing old-time, string-band music last night. This group is the Piedmont Old Time Society, or POTS. They meet the first and third Thursday of the month, gathering at the Continental Club at 816 South Elm Street at 7:00 pm. The group is open to those interested in acoustic, string-band music. It is possible to attend and join in on the jam or to go and sit on the sidelines and listen. Each jam needs at least one fiddler, a bass, guitars and banjos. Last night, there was also a mandolin. The group was comprised of people from Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
Last night, the above group was playing in the back room and in the front room a jazz trio was performing. Both events were enjoyable, putting everyone in a holiday mood. The Continental Club bills itself as a "cool, international social club, for disruptors and innovators." For sure, on Thursdays, it seems that way.
Happy Friday!
It looks like a good space for music.
