New to jamming?

You're not alone.

The Slower Than Dirt Old-Time Jam is a monthly jam especially for beginners. We'll learn a tune or three and get comfortable with jamming in a low-pressure environment.

Always free, open to all. Come join us!

Boil Them Cabbage Down (A)
Abe’s Retreat (A dor)
Cluck Old Hen (A dor)
Cold Frosty Morning (A dor)
