Old time music is part of our cultural heritage, enjoyed by all ages, young and old alike. The style originated in England, Ireland and Scotland. Fiddlers were ever present in wagon trains and around campfires as the early settlers made their long journeys across the prairies and mountains bound for the west in California and Oregon. The music found its way to the western homesteads and was heard at barn raisings, community gatherings and dances.
California State Old Time Fiddlers Association (CSOTFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Old Time Fiddling. The local district is District 8, based in Oak View.
The organization hosts jam sessions, events, and meetings on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month (except Mother’s Day and December) from 1:30 – 4:30 PM at the Oak View Community Center, 18 Valley Rd, Oak View, CA.
These family friendly sessions are open to the public, and parking and attendance are free. Their goal is to encourage aspiring fiddlers and acoustic musicians of all ages and skill levels. Visitors are encouraged to come and enjoy the music, sing along, tap their toes, dance, and even bring an instrument to play.
The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts is presenting this event as part of our cultural programming, which includes diverse musical traditions, and to assist in promoting local non-profit arts organizations.
