Old-time Jam
OLD-TIME ACOUSTIC JAMS
EVERY THURSDAY 7:00 - 10:00 PM
Every Thursday evening from 7-10 PM, join local and visiting musicians at the Jones House for an old-time jam session. Bring your banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin - or whatever old-time acoustic instrument you have - and spend a few hours playing along with fellow musicians of all skill levels and backgrounds. On warm evenings, circle up on the Jones House lawn and porch; on cooler evenings, move the things indoors to the parlor and galleries. Guests and visitors are welcome to observe and enjoy the music, but are asked to be respectful of the musicians. After catching up and choosing a key the music will begin, with the last call for tunes coming around 9:45.
Jams are not held on holidays and may be cancelled on days of inclement weather. Please call the Jones House at 828-268-6280 if you have any questions.
Kids Jam is back for the fall semester! Starting Wednesday, September 10, we will be pickin' and singing' every Wednesday at the Jones House from 4 to 5pm through Dec 3rd (except for Oct 8, Nov 12, and Nov 26). Kids Jam is perfect for our students in the "plus" and "intermediate" classes but all are welcome to come sing. Knowing your basic chords is very helpful for this program since the goal is getting the kids to experience playing music in a group and not individual instrument instruction. We also do NOT require kids to be in the program this fall to participate, so feel free to invite other fitting musicians between the age of 8 and 17 that your family knows.
