The Kansas City Area Bluegrass Music Club has monthly jams on the 2nd Friday of the month, October thru May, in Independence, MO (15 miles east of KC, on I-70).

This can be a power session with up to 15 musicians sometimes. Very common to see 6-10. We play mainly 'pure drop' traditional irish tunes. ***The craic is mighty***

The Gaf has good food, drinks and a very supportive landlord.

There is always a good crowd of punters, including a bevy of lovely ladies who come for the tunes, drinks, dancing and who generally like to get out of line.

We do potluck at 6:00 and jam until 10:00. We play the old time fiddle tunes on fiddles, banjos, mandolins, guitars and such. All acoustic.

It was great to see so many few faces at our December session. I am happy to see our Lawrence contingent growing (Thanks Suzie!). Drawing players from Warrensburg MO to Lawrence KS is a wonderful range.

For those considering joining us, we meet on the third Saturday of January for our regular jam session where we play primarily contra dance tunes, Irish and old time songs. Bluegrass, gospel and other acoustic music are certainly welcome, we just tend towards the tunes in our tune book.

Join this group and look in the files area to see sheet music and midi files for our regular tunes.
