Bluegrass Pickin’ Circle at Trout Lake Hall

3rd Sunday of the Month, 3pm – 5pm

Hosted by Tony Fuentes

Come and make some music, or just come and listen to some pickin’!

Whether you’ve only learned basic chords or are the next Earl Scruggs, come join the circle! All abilities and ages are welcome.

Tony will lead the circle in some basic bluegrass standards, but all pickers are encouraged to bring a song or two or more to share!

Bluegrass is the focus, but any easy to explain and play roots-style tune is welcome (folk songs, country standards, etc.).

Ready to join the pickin’ circle? Just bring your acoustic stringed instrument (Guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, upright bass, dobro, dulcimer, ukulele, etc.) and a fun attitude!

Folks coming to just listen or support a picker can kick back, pull up to a table or a barstool, order some food/drink, and enjoy the fun!

This is a free community event.

2024 Wintergrass Music Festival, Bellevue, WA

Wintergrass is a family-friendly Bluegrass music festival, with concerts and dances on 4 different stages. There are also music education programs for kids and adults, workshops, impromptu jams, and a chance to see and hear some great music.

While Wintergrass is primarily a Bluegrass music festival, you'll hear plenty of other styles of acoustic music including Gypsy jazz, Celtic music, Old-Time, Swedish Polskas, and many more types of acoustic string music. Jam sessions reflect the diversity of styles, with young and old alike participating in every nook and cranny. Don't be shy! Don't leave home without your instrument. The festival maintains a convenient Instrument Check room so that you can safely stash your instrument while you enjoy shows.

Wintergrass takes place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel located at 900 Bellevue Way NE in Bellevue, WA. The Hyatt has plenty of 24-hour jamming space and room for 4 stages all under one roof. Rooms at the Hyatt generally sell out months in advance, and they sell out earlier and earlier each year. Click HERE for more info.
