As the jam has evolved, I have hired a rotating group of leaders who lead the jam from 7:30-9:30. This means that I must charge a $5.00 fee, so we can pay a leader. Each leader will choose 25-30 of their favorite bluegrass/old time songs. Click on the "Pages" tab at the top of the page for a description of our leaders and …

For anyone interested in performing and/or learning traditional Cuban music and meeting fellow Cuban and hispanic music performers, let's meet up and jam! For the most part, this is just a Cuban music-focused jam session, but now and again we'll welcome teachers to perform workshops for more structured teaching. Also, while it's a distinct possibility that we'll perform in front of them at some point, this is a meetup for *musicians* interested in Cuban music, not dancers.

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …
