Bradenton / Sarasota, Florida
and Tampa/St.Petersburg, Florida
OK, here is the latest on regular sessions/music parties in this area:
In Bradenton and Palmetto, there are now some regular music parties (not sessions, per se) which are held in private homes. Every 2nd Sunday from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. there is an open music party at Sarah Mitchell's house in Palmetto. This is a nice party that usually features Irish tunes, Contradance tunes and even some Old Time, and usually also some guitar/folk song type stuff. It is a potluck affair, so bring some food and brews!!!!! Sarah also has a wonderful garden in her backyard, so if you are a plant buff you are in for a real treat (plus, she is VERY generous with her plants, and if she has something that strikes your fancy you can probably get a clipping or two). For directions to Sarah's you can reach her at mitchell8manatee@yahoo.com
Also, there is a session on the First Sunday of each month at Four Green Fields in Tampa, Florida.
