bluegrass jam
Banjo picking session
A bluegrass jam is an informal gathering where musicians play bluegrass music together, typically in a circle with acoustic instruments—banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, upright bass.
Players take turns improvising solos while others provide backup.
Jams happen at festivals, music shops, porches, and parking lots: There's a bluegrass jam at the coffee shop every Thursday night.
