?First let?s start singing, and then we?ll figure it out,? senior Darren Schibler said in a jam session with the Folk Music Club March 21.Schibler has been president of the club since his first year at UVM in 2010. His attitude of ?playing songs first and sorting out the details later? is representative of the ?laid-back? culture of the Folk Music Club itself.Founded in 2008, as the Old Time Music Club, the group began with semi-regular jam sessions in which members would play and perform. Eventually it became recognized by UVM as an official club and expanded its focus from old time to folk music.?Old time music is a very specific style of southern music; [it is] string music essentially,? Schibler said. ?We decided at that point to start doing less old time and more just general folk,? he said.Though the genre has changed, the club?s open jam-style format is largely the same. Schibler said weekly club meetings are like Irish music sessions. ?It?s basically a bunch of people sitting around playing whatever they feel like,? he said. ?Once somebody starts something, everybody else will sing in.?Though the idea of learning a song or new instrument on the fly may seem intimidating, sophomore Renee Beneski said that the group is very accepting of novice musicians.Beneski said she has recently begun learning ukulele with the club. ?Even though I don?t really play anything, it?s still very fun to come to jam sessions,? she said. ?Everybody is really welcoming and the atmosphere is really casual.?Aside from weekly jam sessions, the club organizes concerts, open mic nights and contra dances, which is a style of folk dance and instrument workshops.?I want to see the club expand so that everybody can get anything they want to out of it, and not see it as this clique of a jam session that happens every Friday,? Schibler said. To get involved with the club, warm up your singing pipes or grab the instrument of your choice and head to Living & Learning room 216 Fridays at 4 p.m.
