Pub Jams
Pub Jams are held on the 4th Wednesday of each month at The Old Dog Tavern from 6pm-8:30pm.
The Pub Jams are for our more seasoned players who can pick up more complex tunes at a higher tempo. This is a great opportunity to expand your intermediate to advanced skills, lead a song, and take a lead break with other acoustic musicians. Check out our Pub Jam page for more details.
