Bluegrass Jams In And Around Unicoi, Bluff City, Blountville, Rheatown, TN.

Below are some of the Bluegrass jams that Mary and I attend when we can. There are also jams listed that we will not be attending and many area jams we simply haven't heard about, yet, or can't travel to due to a conflict in schedule. Several of the strictly Bluegrass jam sessions have recently incorporated Country-style music into them as various "Country-style" performers have frequented these jams, often with electrified instruments. (If you are planning to attend a "Bluegrass Only" event, please be sure to verify each event prior to traveling).

OLD PILOT HILL GENERAL STORE, PHILADELPHIA
Thursdays, Old Country and Bluegrass jam session on porch. Jam starts around 6:30 p.m. New stage built for pickers with more and more Bluegrass being played. Warmer weather allows for several distinct picking groups outside.

RHEATOWN STORE
Saturday nights ( 257-5784) Rheatown Store, Rheatown, TN. Bluegrass. Usually 2 rooms of Bluegrass musicians. This is one of the longest running Bluegrass jams in Eastern Tennessee. It has been going on every Saturday night for many, many years!

ANDERSON HOUSE
Fridays 6 - 10 p.m. Blountville (adjacent to the Sullivan County Courthouse) Bluegrass. Usually 2 or 3 rooms of musicians playing a mix of Old-Time, Bluegrass and Old Country.

THE RED BARN
Located on Sciotha Road, Unicoi, TN. Thursday nights from 6:00 - 9:00. Various bands perform. In the past, this venue has attracted more "Old Country" music players than the "Bluegrass" performers that made it so popular for so long. Attendance is increasing and more Bluegrass is being performed of late. A fun night out!

KOSHER PICKLES
Johnson City Motor Mile. Saturday mornings from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Bluegrass and Old Country.

Bluegrass Music Theory Course Being Offered (NO LONGER IN EFFECT)

A Traditional Bluegrass Music Theory course will again be offered in Erwin, TN in the autumn months at the Senior Center's Annex building, the Clinchfield Activity Center, on one Tuesday night per month. The night will be the second Tuesday of the month, each month. The course will instruct music theory as it directly applies to Bluegrass music and will be aimed at acoustic instruments only. No electric instruments will be permitted. The lessons will teach music clefs, lines and spaces, key signatures, flats and sharps, scales and exercises, etc. and how they all relate to Bluegrass music.

In an effort to minimize any boredom, each 15 minute lesson will be followed by a 15 minute application period where the lesson is applied to the acoustic instrument class members opt to bring. Those instruments permitted will be: guitar, fiddle, viola, mandolin, resonator guitar, banjo and standup bass. After three short, graduated lessons are conducted, a jam session will take place for the duration of the evening's scheduled time.

The course will run one Tuesday night per month for as long as interest remains high. The cost is expected to be $5.00 per person per night with the proceeds going to the Senior Center.

The instructor will be Frederick Warner.
