South Philly Acoustic Jam

The Settlement School in South Philadelphia is hosting the Jam until the school closes for the summer. We meet on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 9pm. We will be meeting in the first floor room, but sometimes we're in the main hall. We supply extensive songbooks of classic rock, blues, soul, folk music, and microphones for vocalists.

There is free and available parking on the building grounds.

A $30 Annual special student fee is paid to the Settlement School for all new and returning members. The payment is made in the front lobby of the building ( not the meetup organizers).

We are not an Open Mic Group:
Not an open mic performance, everyone plays the song and anyone can sing the song. No judgment, all skills welcome, just the fun of playing with others.

Our organizing purpose is to offer a friendly, no-judgment musical culture focused on building skills. We are supportive of ourselves and other participants in ways that promote group musicianship. This unique environment fosters musical growth, development and the best conditions to understand and appreciate music for adult learners.

Our community purpose is to be supportive of South Philadelphia communities and the broader metropolitan area by providing occasional and focused musical outreach to senior residential buildings, community music programs, park programs and other charitable community functions. We take no employment compensation for these activities
