Chokecherry Jam Band at the Alpine Cove Ward Party

The Alpine Slow jam was asked (ok, we volunteered) to play for our ward party Friday night. It was the first gig for the "Chokecherry Jam Band."

We were excited to have 8 people in the band (Janet not pictured). We had guitars, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukuleles, fiddles, cello, harmonicas, penny whistle and a cajon!

Playing were Ed, Ken, Evertt, Judy, Barbara, Katie Marie and Cherie and Janet.

It was 45 degrees out, but happily, did not rain! We played (and sang):

Scotland the Brave

The Red-Haired Boy

Sally Gardens

Soldier's Joy

The Eighth of January

Amazing Grace

Cotton Fields

Country Roads

Will the Circle Be Unbroken 

We also had two girls in the ward sing solos. Hazel put us to shame with her rendition of Heart of Gold. She sang and played the guitar as well as the harmonica. 

It was a great first gig for the band, and we're hoping to have many more fun experiences together over the years!
