WHAT IS A JAM?
Jams are a very important part of bluegrass music. Have you ever sat around a family event while your relatives were playing an instrument and singing their favorite songs? These are nothing more than a "JAM". Every performer you see on stage has probably spent many hours playing in jams.
All week long you will see different groups sitting together in a circle playing and singing their favorite songs. Each person has an opportunity to play or sing their choice. Just tell the group what key you will be playing in and let the music begin!
People have paid hundreds of dollars for music lessons and not get the experience you receive in a jam. If you are a new player and don't feel comfortable sitting in the circle, you can sit just outside the circle and play along until you feel you are ready to join in. There is always someone that would be glad to help you if you have questions.
Bring your chair and visit any or all of the jams around the park. We have 7 tents spread around for anyone that wants to participate in Open Jams.
The only stage events will be Open Stage on Friday night and the Band Scramble on Saturday.
4th of July Jam will not have stage events & No Concessions
