| JAM
LOCATION: Chilhowie, VA |
Smyth County Jam
at the Chilhowie Lions Club
116 Industrial Park Rd. |
| Every Monday
night starting around 6:30 p.m |
|
The Smyth County Jam
is a music event, so bring you instruments and join the fun or just
come to listen to some of the best Bluegrass, Old Time and Acoustic
music the area has to offer.
The jam is made up of
an ever increasing group of pickers, singers and listeners. On an
average night, we may have in excess of 50 musicians show up. We have
seasoned pros as well as beginning artists attend our jams. These are
not free-for-all jams, so try and learn and follow our jamming
etiquette.
The stage show is
made up of various groups that are most of the time put together only
minutes before in the back rooms. This really lends to the excitement
as you never know what will happen on stage. We have entire bands show
up from time to time and they are always welcome to participate in this
open mic section of the jam.
