Old time country jams near Washington, District of Columbia

Informal Old Time Music Jam, named for founders Dave and Diane Poe. Players welcome. Meets 2nd Tuesday, 7:30 p.m ( but not June 9, 2009) and Last Sunday of each month, except for the last Sundays of July and August (due to conflict w/music festivals).
We generally sit in a circle and take turns calling tunes to play.
Jam is at the Washington, VA Fire Hall, which is owned by Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue, a volunteer organization. We typically have 8 - 12 players showing up to play claw hammer banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and hammered dulcimer

Location

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.

Every Saturday at 1:00, carrying on Archie's tradition, we have an informal jam session. Everyone is welcome, whether you play an instrument or not.

Besides being a good time for everyone, Saturdays at the Barbershop allow the young to learn from the old and the Piedmont blues tradition to be passed down to the next generation. (from their web site)
