Generally an electric jam. Acoustic players are accommodated if their instrument has a pickup & jack. Groups that call/email ahead can schedule a slot at 9pm to show their stuff.

Host group, TC & the Roadmasters play a 40 min set starting at 7:30, Players are taken off the sign in sheet in approx order. Everyone gets stage time. Player/singers usually get more time since we're short of them.

Bring your instrument & a tuner, picks sticks & the usual consumeable items.

Amps are discouraged as they slow the fun. EFX Pedals-OK. Fender tube amps provided for 2 guitars & harp. Keyboard & stand on stage. All instruments are mic'd to a very nice PA. 4 mix monitors mean you hear yourself well.

Please eat & drink at the reasonably priced bar - it will help keep the lights on. When you do, your food slip goes in a jar and on the last Tuesday jam of each month, a name is drawn. If it's you and you are there, you get cash & a free meal. Jar gets dumped and we restart. If winning person isn't there, ticket goes back in the hopper and we draw again next month, adding $25 more to the pot. If you need to bring a well behaved kid in order to participate, it's ok. On the other hand if the kid is the demon seed, we will cuff him to you and send you both packin'! We don't have many comedians and fewer poets in the area but they are welcome.
