All are welcome to come play or listen! That’s the word from the organizers of the First Fridays Gospel & Bluegrass Open Jam.
That’s right! An open Gospel Bluegrass Jam, called First Fridays, is held the first Friday of each month at Erin Springs Baptist Church, according to jam organizer David Weinberg.
Open jam will begin at 6:00 p.m. Most jam sessions will end by 9:00 p.m.
Time slot length may vary depending on attendance, and will be assigned on a first-come basis, excepting any special guest arrangements.
“Erin Springs Baptist Church has been kind enough to allow us use of their facility, so I personally request that we all behave respectfully in all ways, and bring no food or drink into the sanctuary,” says Mr. Weinberg.
The church is located at 13053 State Hwy. 76, south of Lindsay.
Those who have questions may contact Mr. Weinberg at 630-456-6744.
