Resurrection Evangelical Lutheran Gospel Jam
2602 N. 17th St. Phoenix, AZ |
| 2nd Friday of the month - 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m. |
Given the long association between bluegrass and gospel, we are hosting an all gospel bluegrass jam. It begins with a short devotion and prayer and then in true democratic fashion, each person within the circle gets a chance to lead a bluegrass gospel song. Similarly, each person in the circle is offered a break.
Beginners can chord along quietly inside the circle, or pick an unobtrusive spot outside the circle until they build up their chops. We take a short rest to enjoy refreshments around 8 p.m and then get right back to gospel singing and picking! We invite any gospel music lover to join us! |

Anderson's Traditional Acoustic
Bluegrass Jam Sessions
Private Home of Howard & Susan Anderson (since 1983) |
| Every Wednesday Evening
from 7 - 10 p.m. - Email for directions with map. |

The jam sessions are democratic;
everyone has an equal chance to perform. The musicians stand in
a circle, we go around the circle giving everyone an equal turn
to pick and sing a song of their choice, or play an instrumental
of their choice. People continually learn new bluegrass song.
During the jam sessions, musicians indicate who should play next
through the use of body language. If the person selected shakes
his head, indicating that he not comfortable with that tune, another
person is selected. All people are encouraged to give it a try.
Traditional buegrass music
is performed typically by singing a verse, a chorus and then an
instrument break. The chorus is often sung in three or four part
harmony. Each break is done by a different instrument, so each
musician has his chance to shire.
The Anderson's hosted bluegrass
jams in Virginia for six years before moving to Arizonia, where
they started these regular weekly jams in August 1983 and have
continued them ever since. They provide soft drinks, ice and cups.

"I attended
my first jam at the Anderson's ten years ago as a brand-new mandolin
player. I was encouraged and mentored by the people there and
have remained a regular for all these years. I've observed many
musicians to go on and establish or become part of performing
bands. The level of playing is excellent yet there is always room
for the novice. A friendly and welcoming atmosphere - never clickish
and exclusive. They have set the pattern for traditional bluegrass
and jammng for many of us in Arizona! Thanks!
