Acoustic Jam @ Meyers Creek Brewing
We have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing musically inclined people who love to play but are looking for something more casual and cooperative than an our open mic format.

Soo join us for our unplugged jam sessions led by our very own staff member River. Whether it’s a guitar, mandolin, cajon, ukelele, or other acoustic instrument players of all skill levels are welcome, or just come to listen and sing along!

So how’s a jam different? – A “jam” is any music played without preparation beforehand. This might mean that the music is undefined, or simply that the running order and the musicians are.
