| 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. |
