This year we are planning for a bigger crowd yet! \nIn the current political environment\, it is more important than ever to show support for our immigrant neighbors. Please help this effort by letting people know about this free community event.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Jam Hosted By Willie Jones of Sortin' The Mail
DESCRIPTION:Willie Jones from Madison-based grass band\, Sortin’ The Mail\, will be hosting a monthly bluegrass jam at our taproom!\nThis jam will be a little different than your standard. While we will never tell a musician how to do their job\, our only request was “fun\, uptempo\, and different”. While we love standards and traditional old-timey\, we want our jam sessions to be a little more of a broad array of styles.\nEach jam will start with a set of tunes from Willie (and possibly some special guests!) followed by an open jam for anyone who has a tune they wanna share or is just looking to rock out. So come join us for a great afternoon of pickin’ and grinnin’!
