Phinney Center, 6532 Phinney Ave N, Seattle - Upper 'Blue' Bldg., Room 5 on the 3rd Floor, (Elevator accessible)
We play "Old-time" instrumental fiddle tunes from the Southern U.S. (and other regions) for the most part, on traditional acoustic instruments like you would find at a square dance, such as fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin. No drums or amplified instruments.
We welcome musicians of any age or experience level interested in playing with us or learning more about this kind of music though this is not a slow or beginner jam

Please park in the free parking area adjacent to the 'Blue' building where we play, or in the lower lot near the brick bldg.
No need to bring a chair. Wear warm clothes: the windows are often open during the jam and it can get chilly
Attendance is free, but occasional volunteering for Phinney events would be much appreciated
No alcohol during the jam. There are plenty of opportunities for libations and food afterwards at nearby establishments!
We follow all Phinney Center rules and policies
Covid: Room 5, where we play, has high ceilings, large windows which we often open for air ventilation, and a HEPA air filter. Masks are strongly advised and please be vaccinated, boosted, and symptom free when you come to the jam.
