Jam, Full Fledged Potluck, and Open Mic
The WAMA Slow Jam is ALWAYS fun and NEVER intimidating. If you're a beginner, you will find everyone very supportive and helpful.
This is a full fledged potluck, so bring your favorite potluck dish. Also, hone up your performance skills as we are having open mic after our potluck break. Limit of two songs per performer (group).
Our Jam & Potluck Schedule:
Both our Slow Jam at The Hope Grange and our Jam at The Oakview Grange are FREE, regardless if you are WAMA members or not. Newcomers are always encouraged to attend and participate or to just drop by, listen, and check us out. As a nonprofit organization, we graciously accept donations which help pay for the facilities we rent for our events, but they are not required. If you've never attended one of our jams, you owe it to yourself to discover how much fun they truly are. It will be great to see you at our next jam!

Other tunes we may be playing, if we have time, are our core tunes:
We typically play these tunes at around 90 to 100 beats per minute. After everyone has had a chance to take a lead break on it (if they desire), we then play the tune through a couple of times as a group at normal speed. Mistakes are welcome and egos are checked at the door.
Hope to see you there!
