Catering to traditional old time and bluegrass music, the Jam brings musicians together to pick a tune, enjoy some fun times with their friends and family, and take in all that downtown Blacksburg has to offer.
Whether you’re a musician or just looking for some great music on a Wednesday night, come out to the Farmers Market and enjoy a great time. Come listen or bring an instrument and play along to traditional old time tunes.
Something different this year, “host” bands. Every Wednesday night, in addition to the impromptu jam, there will be a host band to welcome musicians and get the party started. If you have a band or a group of musician friends interested in playing, sign on as a host band and get paid $100.
