Old Time Jam

Join fiddler Ray Gude as he hosts our Old Time Jam every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at Music Folk. The jam is open to all acoustic players of all skill level and all ages. Bring your instrument and play along, or just listen!

The jam on the fourth of the month has more singing and more room for instrumental solos.
