The NY Bluegrass Community
Welcome to New York Bluegrass, the central hub for acoustic roots music across the five boroughs and the greater Northeast. Whether you're a seasoned flatpicker in Brooklyn, a banjo enthusiast in Manhattan, or just a fan of high-lonesome harmonies, this directory is designed to help you find your community.
The NY Bluegrass scene is one of the most vibrant and welcoming in the country. From late-night sessions in the East Village to weekend afternoon jams in Park Slope, there is a place for every skill level to play. Our mission is to keep the Bluegrass Jam Calendar updated so you never miss a beat...or a tune.
New to the circle?
Most jams listed here are "open", meaning anyone can join. We recommend arriving early, bringing your acoustic instrument (no amps, please!), and checking in with the jam leader. When in doubt, "listen more, play less" is the golden rule.
Disclaimer: While we strive for accuracy, NYC jam times and locations can change. We highly recommend checking social media or other outlets before heading out.

This directory is a labor of love. If it helped you find a tune tonight, consider tossing a few bucks in the virtual tip jar to help cover site hosting and maintenance.
