Registration will open May 15, 2025
The NorthEast Squeeze-In is a gathering of free-reed players. It’s not a music festival. It’s not a formal instructional weekend, though there are lots of workshops you can choose to attend. There are no paid performers or teachers. It’s a relaxing retreat from daily life -- an opportunity to learn new tunes, improve your skills, and share what you know. We’re delighted to include beginners who are just getting started. All are welcome, even with other instruments -- they round out the sound. It’s just a lot of fun, run entirely by volunteers, and organized as a not-for-profit event by and for musicians like you.
2025 Location: Wisdom House Conference and Retreat Center in Litchfield, CT.
Wisdom House has lots of beautiful indoor spaces for workshops and jamming, very comfortable bedrooms, and excellent food.
We invite you to stay connected through our mailing list and discussion group.
