Music Jams?

Submitted by AllProfitNoCost t3_113wl4q in CambridgeMA

Picked up guitar again after a long time and am trying to find people to play with. Any recommendations on where to find community jams/ places to play with folks?

Pianist here - I’ve found the Lilypad’s open mic nights on Wednesday nights to be a good spot to meet other artists. Fair warning, though: There is a lot of variety and a wide spectrum where the talent falls.

dope, I've been meaning to check that place out for a while so this is a great excuse to go! As someone on the lower end of the talent spectrum, I'm excited to pick up some tips haha

There's some facebook groups like the Boston Musicians Network that have people looking to jam.

Lilly P's does open bluegrass jams on Tuesday nights. There's usually a decent turnout and a wide range of skill levels.

Tuesdays at the Cantab is Bluegrass night. Usually downstairs during and after a bunch of people jam with mostly guitars and fiddles.

Also if you're into traditional Irish music the Burren is one of my favorite places. They have music every night and there's always something cool going on in the front room.

The Tuesday bluegrass jams are actually at Lilly P's now, not Cantab! I've been meaning to go.

I'm really open to playing anything, but trying to lean more funk/ rock (think vulfpeck/ zeppelin direction)
