10 Meetup Groups match “Banjo Player” near Somerville, NJ
This meetup caters to an advanced beginner/intermediate level player. The jam happens every SECOND and FOURTH MONDAY of the MONTH -- even when I forget to post it on the site. As the jam has evolved, I have hired a rotating group of leaders who lead the jam from 7:30-9:30. This means that I must charge a $5.00 fee, so we can pay a leader. Each leader will choose 25-30 of their favorite bluegrass/old time songs. Click on the "Pages" tab at the top of the page for a description of our leaders and …

With roots buried deeply in Appalachia and influences spanning much of Europe and Africa, bluegrass music is more than a musical genre. It acts as a common language of sharp guitar melodies and banjo runs that have bridged cultural and generational gaps for more than a century. Today, many of the most talented Bluegrass musicians and passionate admirers play and live throughout Brooklyn, New York. This Meetup is to serve as a public forum for sharing and planning events related to bluegrass musi …
