MANJIMUP BLUEGRASS &
OLDTIME MUSIC WEEKEND
20th - 23rd September 2024
Bluegrass Jamming
Essentially, jamming bluegrass is all about having a good time making music with others!
Over many years, a bluegrass jam "etiquette" has evolved. Nothing complicated really, just like a good conversation - good manners, listening to and consideration for others means everyone enjoys themselves.
Have a look at the various links below to get an idea of what makes a good jam - and what kind of behaviour can lead to a "train wreck".
All these bluegrass sites are interesting and listed in no particular order:
