FOOTMAD Community Zoom Jams
We miss dancing, playing, and singing together with you, our community! Until we can meet again let's meet at a virtual community event where we have the chance to play “together” and for each other virtually!
Each event will be on Zoom and hosted by a FOOTMAD Board member and feature a special guest. FOOTMAD’s private ZOOM meeting platform will serve as a way for us to join and share/play/sing along with each other. Each event will be either a “play along jam” or an open mic/song share where one person will be unmuted at a time.
Please share the Facebook event with friends. In order to keep the event free from spam, please don’t share the Zoom link on social media.
Please let us know you’re interested here: forms.gle/uYP59R39Any96cFY9

Ron Sowell leads Open Mic night
2021 JAN 19 [Tuesday] - 7pm
Our first Community Zoom Jam of the year (there will be one each month on the 3rd Thursday through May) will be a Zoom Open Mic led by Ron Sowell, Mountain Stage Band Leader and long time WV music icon (Putnam County Pickers, Stark Raven, solo albums). Ron is not only a musician's musician and a songwriter's songwriter, he encourages and nurtures musicians by hosting monthly open mics at Unity Church (except during pandemics) and producing the Woody Hawley Concert Series
To register to attend and/or perform (as time allows), complete this form: https://forms.gle/zb5aaEAoYtmQMs1e8 to receive the Zoom jam link.
This community event will be hosted on FOOTMAD’s private ZOOM meeting platform by Footmad Board member Paul Epstein (himself a songwriter and fiddler).
The google form (linked above) will ask:
[1] which community events you want to attend and
[2] if you want to be considered as a performer/contributor.
If you only want to answer those questions for this event, you can always return to the form at a later date to sign up.
The form collects your email address, which we will use only to:
[1] To send you a link for the the Zoom Jam and
[2] Contact you if you are selected to perform.
How many, who, and how long a time each has will depend on signups. The sooner you sign up the better so we know how much interest there is.
