Players from "Panther Creek" admidst the BrewGrass Jamphoto by: Stephanie Shaver
BrewGrass Night is a place where locals & tourists can gather to play music, games, laugh admist friends, where children are seen clapping and dancing, and of course where there's good beer on tap!
The Mt. Shasta Brewing Co. is home of BrewGrass Night every Thursday 7-10pm in Weed, CA at 360 College Ave. The jam was started by Banjo Billy and Guitar John in 2008. All it took was one call to the brewery and 2 days later the jam was on!
Musicians from all over the state come to play at this bluegrass infused jam including guitars, mandolins, banjo, flute, bass, spoons, fiddle, and harmonicas, even the occasional visit from the California Bluegrass Association members drop in for a real show down of fast paced picking!
Banjo Billy is an award winning Banjo player that has toured all over the USA. He has represented the North State of California in statewide competitions. Billy enjoys the traditions of bluegrass with a rock and roll spin covering Led Zeplin from time to time....
This has been an ongoing fundraiser for the Weed Arts Council (WAC) for coming on 2 years (the 2nd Birthday Party is coming July 15, 2010). The money raised in the tip jar goes towards promoting the arts by providing WAC with funds for events, marketing, and memberships with other organizations such as the Weed Chamber of Commerce and the Siskiyou Arts Council.
The Weed Arts Council is so grateful for the talented musicians that come out and play and support the community of artists here in Weed. The only steady income for WAC is provided through this weekly event hosted by Banjo Billy, thank you for your dedication.
This is a major grass roots effort, money raised by the community, for the community, thank you everyone who has attended and contributed to our efforts in strengthening the arts in Weed California.
