Hosted by Derrick Doty, the Fiddle Jam is not just for fiddles. It’s open to all acoustic instruments! It’s also open to all ages and skill levels. Jamming is a great way to improve your skills and build your repertoire. Rather than being genre-specific, like Irish, Bluegrass, Old-Time, etc, we'll embrace all traditional and contemporary fiddle tunes, with a focus on dance tunes.

This is a laid-back space to work on your own projects and connect with other creatives. Bring your own project and hang out with fellow makers.
