Denver Area Old-Time Music Jams

Home

(This page last updated 8/19/2007)

If you are a musician who plays Old-Time Music, please consider joining us!

We primarily play American old-time music for our own enjoyment. The music we play sometimes takes excursions to the traditional musical styles of New England, French Canada, or Ireland.

We welcome musicians who play fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass, hammered dulcimer, and other acoustic instruments.

We get together once a month at various locations in the Denver metro area, on the 4th Sunday of each month. If this sounds like something you would like to be part of, please send email with a short description of your musical interests to the Jam Coordinator. Please include your real first and last name. We send out notification of the jams once a month, and rarely send anything else. We respect your privacy and we do not release email addresses.

Here are some excerpts of recordings made at some of the jams (MP3s):
