Ann Arbor Bluegrass Jam


Making Music

The goal of our Ann Arbor Bluegrass Jam is to have fun while playing music in the bluegrass style. To familiarize yourself with a few (out of the many hundreds) of bluegrass standards, the following is a short list. The hyperlinks that follow each song are examples of lyrics/chords and a performance of each respective song. If you want to access these during the jam, the Senior Center has free access to the web on their WiFi.

[Please excuse the front-end advertising on the performances, as well as any bad links.]
