The weekly Friday night jam sessions are dedicated to no holds barred bluegrass, old-time, and country music. Participants range in age from pre-teens to, well lets just say a considerable bit older than that. Musical ability is similarly wide-ranging. Especially during the warmer months, it is not unusual for as many as 30 to 40 people to show up, some picking, some just listening and enjoying the music. Also, there is a beginner jam/slow jam at the shop every Thursday evening from 7:00 until 9:00. | ||

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 Baltimore Singers Club meets on the second Wednesday of every month in the upstairs of Bertha’s in historic Fells Point, Baltimore from 9 to 11pm. 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. | ||
