Center City jam (location sent after RSVP)

We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email the RSVP contact listed on the group's FAQ page to get the jam location, then go on the second Thursday to play or listen..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The jam runs two hours, 7 to 9 pm, on the second Thursday of the month. You get the venue only after you RSVP. The group welcomes beginners, but the pages do not say whether you need your own instrument or whether there is any charge.

Tips for your first visit

  • RSVP ahead of time, since the venue is shared only after you reply.
  • Ask when you RSVP whether to bring an instrument, because the pages do not say.
  • If the Center City date does not suit you, the calendar lists other jams and shows across the region.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The FAQ says beginners are welcome and encouraged at the Center City jam and gives a clear RSVP route. The venue is shared only after an RSVP, so you cannot just show up..
