Community & Jam Sessions

We're part of the Twin Cities jam scene.
Music is participatory. We believe it grows best when shared.

What to Expect at Our Jams

Community is our sound.
Community is our rehearsal space.
Community is our audience.
Community is our fuel.

The Basics

  • Beginner-friendly and welcoming. Our goal is to build community through music — participate at whatever level you're at.
  • Less is more. Play in tune and in tempo. Listening is just as important as playing.
  • Everyone gets a chance. You can pass on leading a song anytime — no pressure.
  • Call what you can lead. Bluegrass, folk, oldtime, or anything adjacent. If you can lead it, we'll try it!
