Princeton Bluegrass Jam

We are re-launching this group for Princeton, NJ area musicians interested in getting together to jam with a specific focus on bluegrass, old time fiddle music, and country with a bluegrass instrumentation. We currently try to meet once a month and encourage everyone to lead a song or tune. All levels welcome, but stringed instruments only, please. No drums, flutes, etc.

"Hi Guys/Gals, I'm joining this group because I was bitten by the bluegrass banjo bug a year or so ago, and I'm still itching. I run The Alchemist & Barrister's music program in Princeton and would to help bring bluegrass to the area."
