Jam at MI Element Grains & Grounds
We're excited to announce the return of the MI Element Grains & Grounds jam! Starting Friday, September 27th, 2024, and continuing every 4th Friday of the month, join us from 6 PM - 9 PM at 3124 Jefferson Ave (next to Gilroy's Hardware) in Midland for an evening of acoustic music.
Bring your acoustic instruments (sorry, no drums) and your own chair or stool. We'll be gathering in a music circle, where everyone takes turns sharing their tunes. It's a great way to connect with fellow musicians and enjoy a night of live acoustic jams!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Questions can be directed to Julia Dryzga at 989-687-7328 or Mike Giffin.
Mt. Haley Jamboree
Sadly, the Mt. Haley Jamboree has come to an untimely end. Mt. Haley was more of an open mic than a true jam session, and FMSM would love to discuss starting it back up with any FMSM member that has an interest in being the point person/sound person for this event. Contact a board member (e-mails can be found at http://www.folkmusicsociety.org/p/about-us.html ) for more information.
Second Jam
Meanwhile, the Second Jam has been resurrected as of fall 2022! This monthly event is held on the second Friday evening of the month at the Baymont Inn, located about 1/3 mile west of Eastman Ave. at 2200 W. Wackerly in Midland. It is the hotel with the red double-decker bus parked in the parking lot, and is just barely east of the westbound on-ramp to US-10.
The jam is held in the breakfast room right across from the registration desk, and participants are encouraged to bring 5-6 copies of lead sheets with chords and lyrics to pass out to others so they can play and sing along (which is what a jam is)! You may contact Johnny Hunt at johnnyhunt57@yahoo.com for more information about the Second Jam.
