Local Music In Bend:
- Central Oregon Old Time Jam
- Musical friends Jam: If you are interested in a local acoustic-only bluegrass/old-time music jam, the Bend Bluegrass Jam also meets at the Pine Forest Grange, on most Second and Fourth Tuesdays of the month, 7-9 pm, year-round. It’s a free event, but donations are accepted to pay for the hall rental. Just tune your acoustic instrument -no amps, and be accepting of everyone’s skill level! Some folks come just to listen or sing along. You’ll probably recognize many of the tunes, don’t forget to bring a song or two to share with everyone.
