In-Person Socially Distanced UkeAmericana Jams
www.UkeAmericana.us
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 UkeAmericana Jams - These are 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.
UkeAmericana Music in this jam is from the traditions that make up the American musical ethos; specifically those sounds that are merged from folk, cowboy, country, rock and blues.

We will use the books and Dropbox folder in the link above as our sources for jam songs. Hardcopy versions of these books are available at Cadenza, Groth and the Edina Schmitt Music stores and online. Most jammers print out the Dropbox songs and put them in a 3-ring binder or on their tablet computer for use at jams.
