What we’re about
UPDATE: Community Jams has moved a new location and starting new jams! Our new studio is at 2365 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Portland, OR. To stay updated, please subscribe to our emails at www.communityjams.org
This is the original founding Meetup site used by Community Jams (www.communityjams.org), the nonprofit organization that evolved out of Portland Casual Jams. With the same vision and inclusivity, Community Jams is place where everyone of all abilities and backgrounds can connect by creating music together. We foster a relaxed, comfortable, and supportive environment where everybody gets a chance to participate and develop their own musical path. Build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy musically collaborating!
We offer open jam sessions almost every day in a customized jam studio in Portland. Each jam is led by an experienced musician. Our sing and play-along jams are easy with the innovative open-source jam web app, bsteele Music App, and our 2000+ song library. (www.bsteele.com/bsteeleMusicApp/)
Check out our calendar of events and rsvp to start connecting through the joy of music!

Thursday Theme Jams - Christmas Songs
The Clubhouse, 2365 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Portland, OR 97225, Beaverton, OR, USThursday's set lists will always follow a known theme.
For our first Thursday Theme jam, we'll be doing songs from our Christmas and Holiday list. There are some crunchy songs with some interesting harmonizations that we get to haul out once a year, so let's enjoy them!
The Studio is a digital sound stage where we plug directly into the stage itself! Amps aren't required, but if you wish to bring tone control of your own, feel free! Please do not adjust the sensitive equipment yourself, but instead simply ask for a sound-person to mute the appropriate channels and then assist you.
Musicians with electric instruments, please arrive 15-30 minutes ahead of the event start time for setup. All jams start promptly on the hour, with a break at 10 minutes before each hour for adjustments. There is a $20 suggested donation via PayPal.5 attendees
