Musicians and audiences of all ages are invited to join Ozark Mountain Music Association for an Old-Time Music Fair to be held Saturday, September 14, at the Michel Family’s Weddings at the Homestead venue, 262 Collins Rd., Branson.
This event promises a great time for musicians and audiences alike! You just have to love live music! From 10 a.m. until 12 noon, musicians can join in “Learn a New Tune” workshops led by area musicians who will provide help with fiddle, banjo and guitar, including some musicians who are regular instructors at OMMA summer youth bluegrass and traditional music camps.
From 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., old-time and bluegrass music jam sessions will be held at locations around the property, with musicians invited to pick a spot and join in, or anyone welcome to sit and relax while listening.
Starting at 1 p.m., music lovers will appreciate live music in “the barn” from several local and regional groups. Food will be served at the barn throughout the day from 11 a.m. through the evening. The day will conclude with an old-fashioned Community Square Dance starting at 6 p.m. Not very experienced? No problem; the caller will give a small lesson before each dance.
Cost for this day of fun is just $5 per person, with free admission for those under age five. All proceeds from the Music Fair will benefit Ozark Mountain Music Association in their mission of continuing traditional music with new generations of young people, supporting scholarships and expenses for summer camps.
