Get together with other like-minded musicians, any level. Meet and perform together on all types of acoustic music; roots, traditional, folk, bluegrass, old-timey, Americana, whatever songs the group brings for the night. Mostly, its to have fun and play in a relaxed atmosphere.

This meetup caters to an advanced beginner/intermediate level player. The jam happens every SECOND and FOURTH MONDAY of the MONTH -- even when I forget to post it on the site. As the jam has evolved, I have hired a rotating group of leaders who lead the jam from 7:30-9:30. This means that I must charge a $5.00 fee, so we can pay a leader. Each leader will choose 25-30 of their favorite bluegrass/old time songs. Click on the "Pages" tab at the top of the page for a description of our leaders and …

My name is Nick Thorpe and I've been in a band for about four years and I play guitar, vocals, and write songs. I left that band when I moved to New York and have since been writing. I now have around 15 songs written and ready to play but need other musicians. To be specific a drummer, bass player, and possibly another guitarist. I already have some connections for venue promoters so I would want to start playing gigs as soon as possible. I'm excited to meet anyone who joins this group and can' …
