Join the Jam

Jamming is an essential part of the bluegrass world. Jamming involves playing music with others—often strangers—in an informal group, trading songs and licks, and enjoying this great form of music. Sure, concerts by the greats are important and worth attending. Likewise, YouTube, Spotify, and the like are an important listening and viewing source. But at the core of it all is playing bluegrass music with others in a jam session.
