A Wednesday tradition at Oklawaha Brewing Company
The French Broad Valley Music Association: FBVMA jam session is focused on regional fiddle tunes and songs. Carol Rifkin and John Mitchell cohost weekly, bring an instrument to play or just enjoy the music, its free, kid friendly, donations encouraged.
Key Players are intermediate to advanced but beginners are most welcome and encouraged to attend to listen, learn/quietly play along. More experienced players sit in the inner circle and take turns choosing fiddle tunes or songs. Guests, families and kids are invited to listen and often sing along. This style of community play has been used to entertain and pass down music to kids for generations.
The French Broad Valley Music Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed to celebrate local musical heritage. “Our community. Our music. Our sense of place.”


Music, poetry, comedy – we’d love for you to share or just come be entertained, sip some great brews, and eat some hot boiled peanuts while supporting your local scene. See you at 7 pm tonight! Sign up starts at 6:30 pm

Christmas Eve with Jackson Grimm @ 7pm! His music invokes the sounds of Appalachia and pays homage to the new scene of folk music. Jackson Grimm marries folk pop melodies with the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm’s songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC. His songs run the gambit from an homage to a traditional country waltz! Dont miss this talented singer songwriter reigning in the new scene of Appalachian Folk music before the holiday! Sláinte!
