Valley of the Sun Jams?? Phoenix, Chandler,Tenpe,Mesa??????

HELLO!!!
I've gone to a few open mics and played, but I am looking for maybe a jam session or some folks who wouldn't jammin with a Noob. I'm trying to play mandolin more often. I am not a traditional bluegrass player in any immajination, i just like writting songs and jammin, would like to record with others..
I'm in Chandler, AZ if anyone has ideas.

I'm no expert but I enjoy playin, Mandolin, Guitar, Bass, Harmonica, Bongos, Spoons, I don't whistle real well, but I would and I'd slap my knee if that was a jam!!!
TAKE CARE!!
