Bluegrass Jam
OPEN CIRCLE BLUEGRASS AT THE MUSEUM

Sunday afternoons from 1:30-4:00 pm. Come and be part of a Valley tradition of music
making where musicians gather to share and learn music together. All levels of players
are welcome. Bring an acoustic instrument and join the circle OR just come to listen.
For Bluegrass enthusiasts, the Open Circle Bluegrass Jam is complementary to the
Spike Jam Sessions held each Friday evening, 7-9 pm. The Spike Jam (organized by
Vallie Mae Stroop at the Chimney Rock VFW) is performance oriented and designed to
entertain large community audiences as a great way to kick off each weekend. The
Sunday Open Circle Jam is smaller with musicians taking turns to perform in the music
circle.
In addition to the music, the Museum’s” very own” David Wood will frequently present
dramatic readings of historical documents , Civil War letters, etc. while local performers

Listeners are WELCOME. We hope everyone will find this to be a relaxing and
“repeatable” way to close out a weekend.

the fun on Sundays!!!
