New for 2025! Our Friday afternoon jam is a more relaxed jam session where attendees pick the songs they want to play from the master songbook rather than having a pre-defined set list. 

This jam will feature selections from Petey Mack's famous songbook (Feb 2023 version). We won't be have a jam-specific songbook for this jam so you can either use Petey's full book or just follow along with the projected chord sheets.
