Glendessary Jam

Good Times Guaranteed

Glendessary Jam has been getting together in Santa Barbara, California, to play Old Time American fiddle music for nearly 30 years. We are not a band but learn by ear and jam together to carry on the two-hundred-year tradition of (mostly) Appalachian dance tunes and back porch melodies. Many of our tunes derive from Scottish and Irish traditions (as well as other European traditions) that crossed the Atlantic and melded particularly with the African-American banjo to become Old Time music. Many of the pieces we play trace the history of The United States from colonial days, through the Revolution, the Gold Rush, the War Between the States and into the Twentieth Century up through the 1930's when radio and recordings opened up new chapters in the evolution of these tunes and the games and dances associated with them.
