December Jam and Showcase
After breaking in the new venue with a fun show in November that drew many folks, we are thrilled to host our second showcase at the new Valleypoint Church 714 South Pines Rd Spokane Valley, WA 99206 location on December 5. We will ring in the Holiday Season in a New Old way with a Musical Celebration that showcases YOU – our members.
Suggested Donation: $5.00/person [$10.00 non-members]
4:00 – 6:00 Jamming: We will start the night with our usual jam circles and will be encouraging folks to participate in the following open mic band scramble.
Holiday Open Mic/Band Scramble In the first hour of our evening showcase we want to try something we have not done in a while – a Holiday open mic/band scramble!
We invite jammers to connect into groups of three or more and work up 2-3 songs to perform in the first hour. Plan your show in advance or pick your partners at the jam or we can help you “arrange” a scramble band. We encourage participation
We will provide breakout space for groups to work up their set – at least one song must be a holiday-themed song. We hope to have 3-5 groups play. Let’s make this really fun and kick off the holidays as a music community.
The Blue Water Strangers will headline the show – bringing their special mix of Americana Music to the Inland Northwest.
On December 5, they will perform their annual Christmas show to headline the INBMA Showcase. Please join us to celebrate and sing Christmas and Holiday favorites!

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.
