1st & 3rd Saturdays Jam at Dewey Hall

ATTENTION: November 16 Jams will be abbreviated due to my singing performance with the Berkshire Concert Choir: “Hope Unfolding” 3:00pm at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Pittsfield.

Slow Jam at 10:00am to 11:00am

Coffee Jam at 11:00am to 12:00

10:00am Slow Jam & 11:30am Coffee Jam

SLOW JAM: A smaller request list and slower pace make for a satisfying jam experience - no matter what the age. A wonderful space for new musicians to learn the culture of a jam circle and a chance for seasoned players to work on deeper details. 1 hour 15min.

COFFEE JAM: A most invigorated jam! One Hundred Minutes of musical caffeination. Choose from the 265 tunes in the Berkshire Strings Jam Collection 4th Edition, a new tune from class or play something we might want to learn. Your tune, your tempo.

Please be courteous and RSVP by Friday noon.

Suggested Donation $20: cash, checks and Venmo accepted
