Roots Americana Jams - www.rootsmusicmn.com
What - The Roots Americana Music in this RUG jam and the Twin Cities Ukulele Club Monday evening RUG jam is from the traditions that make up the American roots musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from from both old and new bluegrass, blues, cowboy, country, folk, rock, and rockabilly music. Jammers may work on some slightly more advanced ukulele techniques at this jam. The Monday RUG jams are moderate paced jams led by Twin Cities Ukulele Club jam leaders.
