Twin Cities Ukulele Club - BUG Jam
Bluegrass Ukulele Group - www.BluegrassUke.com
What is a Jam - Jam sessions are often used by musicians as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs, and jams are often loose gatherings of amateurs who get together to play music. Jams are fun times to play music with others.
The BUG Jams - These are adult and mature teen jams, not lessons or workshops. However, the uke is so easy to play that even if you have never played before, we’ll show you simple chords to get you playing along right away.
Need help playing the uke? Twin Cities Ukulele Club BUG jams will start with a 6:30 p.m. half hour basic workshop. This is for those who are new uke players or who haven’t played uke much or recently. The whole idea is to introduce and practice chords, chord changes, 1 4 5, and other concepts to new or less experienced uke players before the jam. Then, we will start playing songs right at 7.
When - The 2nd, 4th and 5th Mondays each month from 7 to 9 p.m.
Who - The jam emphasis will be on ukulele. This jam will feature bluegrass songs as well as some songs from the old-time and vintage country genre. This jam is geared for adult and teen beginners to advanced uke players, with an emphasis an keeping things simple so all can participate right from the beginning. This BUG jam is free and open to the public.
