The cornerstone of the

listeners can come out and indulge their love of bluegrass and
related music every Tuesday evening. Players of all levels are
welcome and encouraged to attend. The Jam utilizes both the upstairs
and downstairs rooms of the hall. Downstairs is a "break-out" room
for more experienced players. Common courtesy and jam etiquette
should be observed. Upstairs the VBA provides structured activities
as follows:
7:45-8:45 slow pitch jam
8:45-9:00 break
9:00-10:00 moderated circle jam
The last Tuesday of the month replaces the jam with an open stage
followed by a feature act concert. Fiddlers welcome!
