Who we are
We are a small group in Ann Arbor, who have been meeting for over seven years, who are interested in having fun with bluegrass jamming. Our skills range from expert to novice on banjos, fiddles and other bluegrass instruments - everyone is welcome. We like to concentrate on the standard bluegrass tunes, with some vocals. A list of some of the music we play is on the 'Music' page.
Cancelations
If the jam is cancelled because of inclement weather, persons on the email list will be notified about this cancellation by 4:30pm of the day of the jam. See below if you'd like to be on this list. Notice of the cancellation will also be included on this webpage by that time.
Bluegrass
Some have asked about the origins of the term 'Bluegrass'. According to 'Wiki', it comes from Bill Monroe's group 'The Blue Grass Boys', the originating musical group playing this genre. He named the group after his home state of Kentucky also known as the 'Bluegrass State' for this particular type of turf found all around the state.
