Jam Etiquette

Jams are a great way to meet other musicians. This coffeehouse begins with a jam from 6:00-7:30pm. It is "open" meaning that anyone is welcome to perform. Participants sit in a circle and take turns suggesting pieces to play. The following sites provide a sense of what most performers expect from a jam in terms of etiquette. These are offered in hope of making your participation as enjoyable as possible.
