Former co-chair of www.folkwithshadesofblue.com.
HELP!!!! ARE THERE NO JAM'S 'round here?
New to area. Serious fun wanted. Bluegrass to Newgrass, Acoustic Rock, Progressive Folk, Americana... Guitar/mandolin/vocals.

Tim O'Brien, Radney Foster, Darrell Scott, Gillian Welch, Diana Jones, Jay Ungar, Dougie Mclean, AKUS, are some of my favorite bands and individuals I learn from.

Looking for fiddles, basses, guitars, mandolins, banjers, pipes,& other like minded acoustic musicians & singers. Kinda in the advanced group - just not too heavy, I want fun with this.

MySpace site is: myspace.com/mittenpicker

Serious Fun... Tidewater area/Yorktown VIRGINIA

J-dub,

You may wish to post your own request for jams with you location in the subject as I have done, that way folks from around your area will reply when they see the subject. IMHO, that's the most efficient way to utilize this site. Louisiana just isn't in the scope of my post.

Musician map a good place to start

I'm glad you were able to find a good jam to join. I thought that surely there had to be some fun stuff going on in that part of VA. :)

We have found that some of the best responses come from our members posting their pin on the local musicians map: http://www.folkjam.org/local/users . If you put your pin up there then the next time someone comes looking for a jam in your area they will know that there is at least one friendly face out there that may be interested in getting together or at least help point out jams in the area.

I would also recommend the map to jwj4856 in order to find people around Shreveport or provide a way to be found.
