NOTSBA Jam & Special Event Calendar

Three monthly NOTSBA jams are welcome to all.

Please join us on the first 3 Thursdays of each month at the Buchanan Log House (2910 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville, TN 37214) from 7-9 PM.

These jams are for all levels. We are a very welcoming and encouraging group! We go around the circle where each person picks a tune. No pressure though! Need to practice your mandolin chords? Need to work on specific tune melodies? Nervous about playing with others in a live setting? These jams are perfect! You can sit in the back and play as much or as little as you want.

One thing’s for sure: you will play several great tunes that are in the local repertoire and likely learn a bunch of new ones.

  • All levels — from beginners to advanced are welcome.
  • Get great practice on your instrument of choice.
  • It’s a great way to meet other fellow OT musicians.

Upcoming jams dates: September 3, 10, 17 | October 1, 8, 15 | November 5, 12, 19 | December 3, 10, 17

This month’s 4th Sunday jam will be held Tom Jaselskis’s house on September 27, from 3:00-6:00 PM. Go ahead an bring a chair if possible so we have enough. Tom will be making white chicken chili – so feel free to bring something to compliment that.

Address: 2014 Pointe Barton, Lebanon, TN 37087 Cell: 615-948-0671
