Jazz at The Yard: Pedal Steel

Tables are pulled up near the stage for that jazzy club feel under the stars. Savor cocktails, as well as wine by the bottle or the glass from The Bar at The Yard, and bites from our resident food concepts. Admission is free.

Catch music inspired by and featuring the unique pedal steel guitar. “Like its grandfather, the Hawaiian steel guitar, the pedal steel is played with a stainless steel bar that slides smoothly up and down the strings to change the pitch. The bar is what gives the instrument its silky, legato tone, but also makes it tricky to play in tune. The pedal steel is rarely, if ever, strummed. Instead, players wear picks on their thumbs, and index and middle fingers of the right hand, which pluck the strings in groups of three, called “grips.” - makingmusicmag.com

This series is curated by musician and co-founder of Guitars Over Guns, Chad Bernstein.
