"Great
jam. From the road it looks small but the little road alongside
the building takes you back to a large (full) parking lot.... when you
enter you are in the jamming and dining room. There are 2 or 3 groups
of intermediate to advanced pickers there...some are in bands, most
just loosly affiliated. In the next room is the food and drinks...they
don't charge but do take donations.... and then through the door to a
venue that seats a couple hundred, I guess.... there the little groups
from the jams take their turn at entertaining from the stage complete
with sound system and lighting. There are dancers along the side, too.
Quite a good experience."

| The Camel City
Bluegrass Jam is made up of novice to intermediate bluegrass musicians
with the shared goals of becoming better group players, and having fun
while doing so. Bluegrass music is an interactive and social form
of music, and it is meant to be played as a group. For many of
us, learning to play an instrument is largely a solitary
experience. Finding others to play with that are compatible in
terms of skill and experience can be difficult, and sometimes even
intimidating. The Camel City Bluegrass Jam strives to be a
low-pressure, friendly atmosphere for closet pickers and novice
musicians to enjoy playing in. |
