This is an all-levels jam.
Enter the park at 103rd Street, walk down the steps, and then veer to the left down the path. We’re on the promenade level overlooking the sports complex.
Always bring a chair if you absolutely need one since we can’t always rely on park chairs.

Bluegrass Jam Camp: Build Confidence and Have Fun!
48 Hamilton Terrace, New York, NY, USSpecial Wernick Method jam camp!
Calling all musicians interested in learning about bluegrass jamming or looking to improve their jam skills! Whether you’re newer to the bluegrass scene, want to play with others, or are aiming to build confidence, join us for a special two-and-a-half day jam camp with Liz Wolfe and special guest musician Chris Tamburrini.
We’ll be using the Wernick Method to help you jam more comfortably and effectively. This camp will cover the etiquette of jamming, how to do (or at least fake) solos, how to lead and follow songs, find melodies, and sing harmony, and of course we’ll spend lots of time jamming!
The jam camp is $225 and provides all materials, including two jam songbooks.
Camp hours are Friday 6:30-9:30 pm; Saturday 10:30 am-6:30 pm; and Sunday 10:00 am-2:00 pm.
For more information and to register, go to https://wernickmethod.org/event/lw-2026-04-newyork
One past participant said, "I went to a jam right after the camp and led two songs with much more confidence. That was my goal!"
We guarantee you’ll gain a lot of skill and confidence by participating. This is a “not to miss” opportunity!
