peterabrice — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:35:35 -0600

The Baltimore Singers Club meets on the second Wednesday of every month in the upstairs of Bertha’s in historic Fells Point, Baltimore from 9 to 11pm. The occasion is very informal, but the beer is good and the craic is mighty. Meetings have so far been well-attended and all songs have been rendered in great voice, as they should be. The repertoire is traditional and old, but newly composed songs in the same vein are welcome. At evening’s end, we with haste retire to the Cafe Hon in Hampden for the weekly session.

peterabrice — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:01:10 -0600

This session starts at 8:30pm (EST) and runs for about three hours. Regrettably, there isn't a piano, but we do have a nice acoustic spot. Parking is easily found in any of the vicinity's three parking garages.

The tunes are mostly from the Baltimore and Baltimore/Washington repertoires.

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.

Royal Mile Scottish Jam

Peter Walker — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 06:06:52 -0600

Traditional Scottish jam session at The Royal Mile in Wheaton, Maryland near Washington, DC. We are, to my knowledge, the only public Scottish jam in the area.

Though the session is dominated by fiddlers, all appropriate instruments are welcome, within reason (Highland Bagpipes are just too loud, and in the wrong key for session play).

Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation Jam

scott.mclewin — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 21:51:26 -0500

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)
