Medford musicians Matt and Shannon Heaton begin their fall season of Virtual Guided Sessions. Tune learners, second instrument players, or anyone who enjoys traditional Irish music are welcome for moderately paced Irish tunes — jigs, reels and more — upbeat chat, and connection with other trad music lovers. Resources/tunes lists can be found on Shannon’s website. Join the global community in the live session via YouTube. Cost is free, but virtual tip jars are available via PayPal or through Venmo at ShannonHeatonMusic.

The Virtual Guided Sessions will return to their usual third Saturday date for the rest of the year — October 19, November 16, and December 21.
