The Whately Old Time Jam takes place each month on the third Tuesday from 7pm-9pm-ish, unless there is a special event preceding the jam such as workshop. We gather in Whately Town Hall Audititorium in Whately, Massachusetts.
This is an Old Time jam, keeping to tunes and songs in the Old Time repertoire. Speed and tunes will be up to those who attend. We’ll go round the circle so everyone can choose tunes and pace. Old Time chestnuts, waltzes, obscure and/or crooked tunes, tunes that don’t resolve, tunes with questionable chords, tunes with weird numbers of A/B/C/D/E parts – all welcome if someone can lead it.

Held every third Tuesday of the month. On warm evenings, we’ll circle up in the Meadow around the campfire; on cooler evenings, we’ll be cozy inside The Word Barn itself.

Don’t play an instrument? Come on over, kick back, and enjoy the tunes!

Free admission for all – donations accepted. Registration requested (space is limited).

After catching up, sharing a pint (or two), and choosing a key, the music will begin, with a last call for tunes coming around 8:45pm.

Sessions are led by uber talented fiddler, Betsy Green.

**Please note and watch the calendar – Old-Time Jam session dates are subject to shift from the 3rd Tuesday as needed due to holidays and conflicts.

Special thanks to the NH State Council on the Arts. Their support allowed the creation of this program, and supports its continuation.

Bluegrass Tuesdays Jam at The Smoot Standard
2026-06-02 18:15 - 22:30 | The Smoot Standard, 313 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA, 02139, United States
Bluegrass Tuesdays jams continue at The Smoot Standard and the patio at Naco Taco in Central Square in Cambridge, but we are shifting the start times forward by a half-hour. Bluegrass Tuesdays regularly scheduled jams will now be meeting on the following schedule:
6:15 pm – Beg-to-Int Bluegrass Jam (email tony…@gmail.com to join)
7:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam
7:45 pm – Ed’s Slow-to-Medium Instrumental Jam
8:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam
Thanks to Chris Parsons (chef/owner of Lily RIP’s), our jams now meet every Tuesday at these two restaurants (rain or shine). Naco Taco is owned by the same folks as Smoots and is another sister restaurant of Lily P’s. The Smoot Standard is located at 313 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge, MA 02139, while Naco Taco is at 297 Mass. Ave. Smoot’s kitchen will be open until 9 pm, and drinks will be available late from JamBassador Jack.
Food and drinks are available at both locations, but I cannot stress this highly enough: DO NOT carry alcohol between the two restaurants. You can purchase alcoholic drinks at either location, but you must finish your drinks there – you CANNOT carry them down the sidewalk between the restaurants. I’m asking everyone to please remind each other of this very important rule – thanks!
As a reminder, we are still looking for the next home for Bluegrass Tuesdays, and we need your help! Please visit www.BluegrassTuesdays.com for a complete description of the kinds of places we’re looking for. Suggestions have been coming in, but we still need more, thanks!
