The Heart of America Old Time and Bluegrass (HABOT) association runs a monthly jam at 6pm October through April in Kansas City's Northland. See their web site for contact information and directions.

This jam is a huge affair with room after room of players playing away at bluegrass, country, old time, fiddle tunes and pretty much anything acoustic instruments can muster. It at the atmosphere of a picking festival. There are groups playing at just about every skill level, and a bluegrass show in a main performance space for those who don't bring an instrument.

Location

Dave Lizor has been running a monthly jam at his house since 1978.

It starts at 8pm and runs until the last two people go home, which could be well into the morning. Groups will be playing both inside and outside, so bring bug spray for the summer. While there are plenty of chairs to share it does not hurt to have one of your own along. Come with something to share - a snack, a bottle of wine, a six pack. The crowd is a mix of people who play and people who listen, so bring along a friend or three.
