All songs were performed August 21, 2009 in the campground of the Philadelphia Folk Fest after the Decemberists' performance that night on the Martin Stage. We crossed paths and setup the jam right where we met at the crossroads by the "top of the world" bus.
It was a privilege to play with Chris Funk (Dobro), Jenny Conlee(Accordian), and Nate Query (BassFiddle) of the Decemberists. It was an honor to play on of my tunes with them. The crowd began to form and before long we were stirring up folk roots with the aid of the players in the campground!
Some of the performers were Brad, from the Roost campsite, Chicken Shack Jack and Kiley Ryan of Wissahickon Chick Shack, Myself (JayMage) and many others on banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitars, and so on...Please email with any more information you may have to add...
