About
the Mother Lode Ragtime Society: Founded in 1999 following
the success of the First Ever Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival, the Mother Lode
Ragtime Society's primary purpose is to ensure that all pianos and miscellaneous
instruments in and around this picturesque Gold Rush town issue ragtime music .
To join the Mother Lode Ragtime Society, simply attend a jam session. If you
don't perform at the piano or on a fiddle, banjo, tuba, washboard, gut bucket,
cow bell, or other instrument of choice, you're expected to at least tap your
toes, spoons, coffee cups, ice cream dishes, children, and/or spouse in a
syncopated fashion. No fee. Donations for postage gratefully accepted.
Jam sessions are generally held the third Saturday
of every odd month (Jan- Mar - May - July - Sept) from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. at the
Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, 51 Main Street (Hwy 49), Sutter Creek, CA.
The Society produces the annual Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival held the
second weekend of August (next one is Aug. 8 - 10, 2008) plus special concerts throughout
the year. For information on the next Festival, click on the "2007
Festival" button above. Please select Calendar for a list of our upcoming special concerts.
