Slow Pitch Jam Sessions
Bring your Bluegrass instruments and sit in on our slow pitch jam sessions, hosted by the RiverCity performers.
The jam schedule will be announced soon.
The Slow Pitch Jam offers an engaging introduction to the world of group music-making for beginners. Participants will find a structured environment that encourages learning and growth, led by patient and knowledgeable instructors. The sense of camaraderie and safety in numbers makes this an ideal setting for new musicians to explore the joy of jamming. By connecting with others who share a passion for music, beginners can build confidence, develop their skills, and enjoy the collaborative spirit that defines the essence of making music together.
