Music Jams
in the area
If you would
like to have your Jam listed here, or have changes to make in
the listings below, contact
Ron McCabe
You are welcome
to attend jams, whether you wish to play, or just listen. Always be
courteous and cognizant of "your" and "their"
musical abilities at any jam session. Here is a nice little link on Bluegrass Jamming Pointers by Pete Wernick from the Colorado
Bluegrass Music Society, and can be generalized to other
types of jam sessions.
It
would be wise to call ahead and check to be sure the is jam
is happening.
I
haven't gone through this in quite awhile, but besure to
check out SWBMAI's jams page.
Most of the
following was taken from the SWBMA Jams page, and modified a bit - I removed jams that were
more than 100 miles from Madison, adjusted addresses and
towns so they can be used with Yahoo's Driving Directions,
included links to maps, and included the number of miles from
Madison. If you are far from Madison, you can go to the SWBMA Jams page and check for jams that may be closer to you.
These are sorted by Day. All Jams are Bluegrass unless noted
otherwise.
It would be wise to call ahead and check to be sure the is
jam is happening.
