TAHLEQUAH The Sequoyah Institute at Northeastern State University will host a Community Bluegrass Jam on Saturday, May 3 from 3-5 p.m. at Norris Park in Downtown Tahlequah prior to the performance of Dry Branch Fire Squad.

Theres no better way to get in the mood for an evening of bluegrass music than spending a couple hours pickin and grinnin in the park with players from across the area under the bright sunshine, said Megan White, director of the Sequoyah Institute. Anyone can bring their instruments to join in the jam session, or just bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on and enjoy some great music.
