What is a Jam - Jam sessions are often used by musicians as a social gathering to share the music they love as well as explore new music. Jams are fun times to play music with others. These are jams, not lessons or workshops, but we will touch on some "how to's" to help us play better. Plus, the ukulele 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.
We’ll even do some '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s roots songs!

What - The Roots Music in these Twin Cities Ukulele Club RUG jams 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. Both the Monday and Thursday RUG jams follow the same formats and use the same music. They are moderate paced jams led by Twin Cities Ukulele Club jam leaders.
