Austin Old Time Jam
Held every Tuesday evening starting at 6:00PM. Join the Facebook group to stay in the loop, as sometimes the time or location may shift. Organized by Britt Irick and Tim Keough. Currently being held at Patterson Park, just across from Wilshire Parkway (map). Bring a chair and refreshments.
Austin Old Time Beginner Slow Jam
Every first Saturday, 10AM - 2PM. Location rotates among jammers' houses and other locations. Join the Old Time Slow Jam mailing list to stay up-to-date. All levels, all instruments welcome. Play by ear or by sheet music. We are here to help and to show you the fun of playing in a group, even if that is tapping on your banjo head or strumming the chords of the song.
