Join us for a "fast jam" style bluegrass circle!
This jam is for acoustic stringed instrument players (sorry, no amps or percussion!) with solid command of their instruments who want to push themselves musically. Tempos are faster, songs are more complex, and both singing and playing reflect a higher level of bluegrass musicianship.
Participants should know the core repertoire, keep steady time at speed, and be ready to take breaks and contribute strong rhythm or vocals.
Less experienced players are welcome to attend and can learn a lot by listening and playing along, but should respect the flow of the group if asked to sit out on a tune. The goal is to keep the music driving and challenging while still sharing songs, trading breaks, and encouraging one another.
If you'd be more comfortable at a all-levels jam, check out the several dates at Velum or other venues around town (all available on our events page).
And ... Mondays are Velum's "mug club" night! Like $4 beers? Learn more at https://www.velumfermentation.com/brew-crew/
Velum Fermentation is located at 2120 Jane Street in Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood. The brewery has a parking lot and there is street parking around the venue.
