About this event

The Slow Jam & Americana Jam Night at The Parlor Room Doors: 6:45pm Slow Jam: 7pm - 8pm Drop-in Tickets - $12 includes all fees FREE FOR MEMBERS Open Jam: 8pm-10pm Free For All! 7:00–8:00PM: THE SLOW JAM Link to Songs for Slow Jam: https://parlorroom.org/slowjam Each month, we’ll focus on two songs, posted in advance on our website so participants can listen, learn the chords, and come prepared. Led by local musician and educator Josh Ballard, the Slow Jam is a welcoming, supportive space to learn how jamming works in real life: how to follow chord progressions, take breaks, back each other up, and keep the rhythm moving. This hour is ideal for newer players or anyone who wants to build confidence before jumping into the open jam. It’s hands‑on, low‑pressure, and designed to help you grow as a player. 8:00–10:00PM: AMERICANA OPEN JAM After the Slow Jam, a full-on Americana Jam Night begins, free and open to all. Bring your instrument, your voice, or just come to hang and listen. No sign-up needed. Instructor Bio: Josh Ballard is a Western Massachusetts based musician with a passion for making music accessible and inclusive for everyone.
