SUMMARY:PineCone Open Bluegrass Jam
DESCRIPTION:This jam was rescheduled from its original Monday\, Jan. 26\, date due to weather. The jam will continue on every fourth Monday of the month. \nThe monthly PineCone Bluegrass Jam is a “circle jam\,” where musicians gather in a circle and play together. Tunes are played up to speed and everyone interested in playing bluegrass instruments is  welcome. \n \nThis jam will be held outdoors when weather permits. TransferCo has a beautiful patio\, with lots of room for pickers and spectators alike. There’s also a spacious ballroom just off the Food Hall that’s got room for a nice sized circle. \nJam leader Ron Raxter is pictured far left playing the upright bass. (photo by Tom Beck)\nFacilitated Ron Raxter\, the repertoire includes both instrumentals and vocal songs. Ron is one of PineCone’s founding members and is active in a number of local jams. He’s a retired attorney\, bass player and was part of the local organizing committee that helped recruit IBMA’s World of Bluegrass to Raleigh. \nIn the colder months the jam is held in the TransferCo Ballroom. (photo by Maurice Melvin)\nWhether you’re a first-time jammer or a veteran\, you’re welcome to learn the tunes and play along\, or just listen and observe! However\, please note that this is not a “learning” or “slow” jam. If you want to play at a slower tempo you might want to check out our monthly “Beginners’ Jam” at Harry’s Guitar Shop.  Regardless\, this is a great place to meet other musicians who share your enthusiasm for bluegrass. \nPlease remember – every jam is different! This jam tends to draw a big crowd\, and it is open to musicians of all skill levels. Please help us make sure that newer players feel welcome! Also\, big\, mixed level jams can be challenging. Patience and kindness are appreciated! \nThe PineCone Bluegrass Jam meets on the fourth Monday of each month at Transfer Co. Food Hall in downtown Raleigh.

SUMMARY:The Music Man Sr.
DESCRIPTION:RALEIGH\, NC — July 23\, 2025 — Dancing Man Productions\, a Raleigh-based theatre company\ncreated for performers aged 55 and up\, proudly announces its second production\, The Music Man SR.—a\njoyful\, 60-minute adaptation of the beloved Broadway classic. Presented in partnership with Raleigh\nLittle Theatre\, all rehearsals and performances will take place at Raleigh Little Theatre’s fully accessible\ncampus.\nBased on Meredith Willson’s six-time Tony Award–winning musical comedy\, The Music Man SR.\nfeatures some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit\, warmth\, and good\nold-fashioned romance. Family entertainment at its best\, this bold and brassy production is a toe-tapping\ncrowd-pleaser sure to have the whole town atwitter.\nMaster showman Harold Hill arrives in River City\, Iowa\, with “seventy-six trombones” in tow. The\nfast-talking traveling salesman convinces the townspeople to buy instruments and uniforms for a boys’\nband he vows to organize—despite not knowing a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town\nwith the cash are complicated when he falls for Marian\, the town’s upright and uptight librarian\, whose\nbelief in Harold’s potential just might help him succeed in spite of himself.\nThis vibrant production continues Dancing Man Productions’ mission to reimagine senior participation in\nthe arts by offering daytime rehearsals and matinee performances—eliminating the challenges of\nnighttime travel while fostering a strong\, inclusive creative community.\nAudiences can expect a heartwarming\, high-energy musical experience filled with humor\, nostalgia\, and\ntimeless songs\, performed by a cast of seasoned artists who prove that creativity thrives at every stage of\nlife.
