If you like country/bluegrass/rockabilly this is a weekend for you to
stick close to home. Tonight James Reams & The Barnstormers, a
Brooklyn-based bluegrass band, kicks off the 12th Annual Park
Slope Bluegrass & Old-Time Jamboree over at the Brooklyn Society
for Ethical Culture. The Jamboree continues tomorrow with workshops,
jamming, clogging and concerts, with food available during the
afternoon from Dizzy's.
Then on Sunday, OTBKB Music fave Li'l Mo and The Monicats will be
