Americana Jam Night: Bluegrass and Board Games at The Iron Horse on Wednesday, December 11 2024

Bluegrass and Board Games: A Weekly Americana Jam SessionJoin us for an evening of music, fun, and community at Bluegrass and Board Games, where Bluegrass meets Old-Time, Folk, and Country. Whether you're a musician or simply love live music, this weekly session has something for everyone. Bring an instrument and join the jam circle, or come for a drink, play classic board games (free to use!), or just enjoy the laid-back, music-filled atmosphere with friends. Need to catch up on some homework? Feel free to settle in and make it a productive night with a backdrop of Americana tunes.

For Musicians:The jam follows a circle format, where each player takes a turn leading a song or tune—or can pass to the next person if they'd prefer. Amplification is minimal, with the exception of small bass amps if needed, as this is an acoustic session. All acoustic instruments are welcome, so please keep everything unplugged. Bass players, if you also play other instruments, bring them along, as we aim to have one bass player at a time. The jam is open to all Americana genres, so feel free to explore beyond Bluegrass.

For Listeners:The bar will be open, creating a perfect setting to relax with live music. Whether you're here to catch up with friends, dance, play some board games, or even tackle some late-night studying, you'll find a welcoming space to enjoy the evening. Come for the music, stay for the atmosphere!
