Welcome to the Squirrels Nest

Who are the Squirrels?

The Squirrels' Nest is an incredible assortment of musician friends. This high-energy jam often goes on into the wee hours. Often, you'll see us break out the blinky hats, laser lights, and neon signs... not to mention the squirrels wearing underpants. The caliber of musicians and the level of goofiness regularly combine to make some real magic.

All are welcome

EVERYONE is welcome. If we see you standing outside, you'll be invited over - to play, listen, or just wear a silly hat with us. We want you to be part of the music, no matter what your experience. Often, the music we play can feature some pretty advanced tunes. Really often, we will play it mighty fast, and sometimes even with quirky key changes. We do have some pretty amazing musicians that join us to play. But even beginners can find inspiration under the lights with us. It's always an open jam! :-)
Don't be intimidated to join in as you can. We welcome all ages and all acoustic instruments. Hey... have you ever heard a hurdy gurdy solo called? No? You don't know what you're missing! CD cover Late at night, we've been known to form shoe bands in the center of the tent... to call dances for the crowd.... and to bring in all the little (and not so little) kids to the center of the circle so they can experience the surround sound of the center of Squirrels' Nest. It really is a magical place, and magical time, and full of magical people.
