This is a weekly event for all area musicians and songwriters to get together and write, critique, and just jam with one another to the songs and styles that they love. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. I love when writers pass through town and join us. I give a nice change of pace to hear a different point of view or a new sound from a traveling minstral. All meetings are held Thursdays from 7pm - 11pm or later if we're having too much fun. | ||

Get together with like-minded lovers of folk music and singing! We meet twice a month to sing and play folk songs, most taken from the Rise Up Singing book. Members also bring lyrics to their favorite songs and hand out copies. If you're familiar with folk music and are not shy about singing, or you play an acoustic instrument, come on down! Those who can sing harmonies or play fiddle, flute or harmonica are particularly welcome at this point. | ||

Traditional Scottish jam session at The Royal Mile in Wheaton, Maryland near Washington, DC. We are, to my knowledge, the only public Scottish jam in the area. Though the session is dominated by fiddlers, all appropriate instruments are welcome, within reason (Highland Bagpipes are just too loud, and in the wrong key for session play). We try to stick to a Scottish repertoire, from all areas of Scotland and regions with closely-related styles (like Cape Breton and the Shetland Isles), though a few Irish tunes slip in. We mostly play reels and jigs, though we're trying to get more strathspeys and other tunes into the mix. The level of play at the session depends on who shows up. We often start as a slow session for the first 45 minutes or so, and become an advanced session for the remainder. | ||

The occasion is very informal, but the beer is good and the craic is mighty. Meetings have so far been well-attended and all songs have been rendered in great voice, as they should be. The repertoire is traditional and old, but newly composed songs in the same vein are welcome. At evening’s end, we with haste retire to the Cafe Hon in Hampden for the weekly session. | ||
