Sterling Club Acoustic Music / Bluegrass Jam

09/28/2018

B Chord Brewing Company

To all of our jam buddies. - The old Sterling Golf Club Jam is EXTINCT! It was great picking on the porch for 14 or so years. Thanks to all who attended this jam at the Club.

The Sterling Golf Club jam has moved to B Chord Brewing
https://www.facebook.com/bchordbrewing
Note that this is open format acoustic jam, for mixed genre music. Think Blues/Americana/Roots/Country/Folk/Acoustic rock/Swing, etc. This is not an electric blues jam.

To keep things simple, there will be very limited access to plug in. If you need an amp, a battery-powered one is advised, played respectfully, please.

I hope to see you there.
More info on the move to B Chord:

This is our new permanent home for this jam. They have the right facility (it's big and comfortable) , great food, craft brew, and, most of all, they have a great attitude toward our kind of music and there are always musicians hanging out there.
No other facility that I have looked at has the right stuff for a jam (bad acoustics, tight space, uncooperative, etc.). B Chord is the right place and B Chord WANTS US THERE! Thanks to Marty Dougherty (co-owner) and Erik Burnham (Music director) for working this out for us!
Please get on board, it is not that far to go! Personally, I think this change will send this jam into a great future, as we will all meet many new friends and catch up with our old music buddies at B Chord.
NOTE THAT THE DATES for this jam series are now the FIRST, THIRD and when possible, the FIFTH Sunday of each month (This Sunday is a FIFTH Sunday) . That's right, this series provides many more opportunities to jam!
The Sterling jam was previously the second Sunday, at 5 PM. For the "dinner and discussion" jam that we've all come to know, we'll focus on the FIRST Sunday going forward. B Chord will be open to accommodate the dinner crowd, so except for the change to first Sunday, all else remains the same!

Virginia Farm Brewery located in Western Loudoun County
Open Daily 12p-8p, Weekends 12p-11p, Sunday 12p-8p. Dogs are welcome.

Jam cancelled tonight due to snow, sleet, freezing rain and, yep, ice, too! Practice safe strumming at home.

Sterling Golf Club Jam - Cancelled for tonight. Sorry. We are looking for a new venue for the winter months. Epicure is moving to Ashburn, so that might work.

Sterling Golf Club Jam - POSTPONED until Spring of 2014

The Sterling Golf Club has had to significantly reduced their winter operating hours, which means that we cannot host this jam at the club until next spring (hopefully March).

Our apologies, but please return to the pickin' porch and the nice weather in the Spring of 2014.

If we can find another venue that is suitable, we'll resume the regular schedule. Nothing on the radar, yet. I have also notified Bill Foster at DCBU.org for an edit to the jam listings page.

Thanks to all and see you in the Spring!
