Oliver Mayman Presents: The Tunes Session. An Open Jam On The Music Of Irving Berlin at Black Squirrel Club

Oliver Mayman Presents: The Tunes Session, An Open Jam Experiment On the Music of Irving Berlin

This is the very first “tunes session” at Black Squirrel Club, featuring the music of Irving Berlin. The house band will open with a few of his songs before opening the session up to guest musicians. We'll explore a list of quintessential Irving Berlin tunes (below). When we run out, it'll turn into a regular session. Whoever shows up and learns the tunes gets a shot at a gig with the next session's house band and the opportunity to pick the theme. If you like the idea and want to be a part of it, come out and play some of this music with us!...

The goal of this experiment is for like-minded musicians to come together to learn some interesting tunes and expand everyone’s repertoire, all while getting some Philly musicians a Wednesday night gig! Be a part of it!
