The line-up for the March jam included Kate Taylor, Rick B and the Slip Time Ensemble, Setsunai, Lucy Mayhew, Jemima James, Willy Mason, Ben Taylor, John O'Toole, Ben Robinson, David Stanwood and many more Island musicians.
The Chilmark Potluck Jam, a series of community food and music events held at the town community center for the last 15 years, will proceed this year with a new zero-alcohol policy, after select board members raised concerns about underage drinking during the festivities.
At the free Chilmark Potluck Jam this weekend, music fans will have a chance to bid on a one of a kind piece of local music memorabilia and to support a good cause at the same time.
This Saturday, the 50th Chilmark Potluck Jam will brighten the windows at the Chilmark Community Center and spread its glow over a Martha’s Vineyard winter, as it has done for more than 10 years now.
I really had no idea what to expect as I approached the Chilmark Community Center a little after 7 p.m. on Saturday night, but I hoped it would be like days of old when — as teenagers — we would make the long trek from down-Island to square-dance or listen to folksingers like Jesse Benton or David Gude. I was not disappointed.
