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!

AJ Lee and Blue Summit, East Nash Grass
2025-11-20 20:00 - 23:00 | Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St, Fall River, MA, 02721, United States
Bluegrass is hot, and AJ Lee & Blue Summit and East Nash Grass are two of the hottest collections of young bluegrass talent you’ll find anywhere in America. Part of bluegrass’ fourth wave, these are musicians who’ve grown up at the feet of the bluegrass masters, but see the genre through a wider lens, incorporating not just Americana and stringband sensibilities, but rock, pop, R&B, and other flavors that take their music far beyond traditional bluegrass fare, without losing the essence of what gives bluegrass its heart. Best of all, when you put two groups like this together on the road, you can be sure they’ll cook up something special for every show — musicians of this caliber just can’t help but be inspired by each other. Might as well start getting excited now.

A J Lee plus East Nash Grass
2025-11-21 20:00 - 23:00 | The Sinclair, 52 Church Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
AJ LEE & BLUE SUMMIT
AJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning, energetic, charming, and technically jaw-dropping band — and one of the most exciting and fast-rising Bluegrass / Americana bands on the scene today. Based in the California Bay Area, the group met as teenagers, picking and jamming together as kids at local bluegrass festivals. Currently made up of AJ Lee on mandolin, fiddler Jan Purat, guitarists Scott Gates and Sullivan Tuttle (younger brother of Molly Tuttle), and bassist Sean Newman, the band still carries that youthful, festival-parking-lot energy with them, yet there’s a genuine ease and confidence to their music making. A breakout year for the band, 2024 saw them release their critically acclaimed album, “City of Glass,” their first label release on Signature Sounds recordings, combined with becoming one of the most in-demand bands in the Bluegrass scene. In 2025, the band continues to pack major venues around the country, along with major festival plays, and the release of “Cover to Cover V1,” an EP of cover songs being released throughout the year.
EAST NASH GRASS
East Nash Grass exemplifies the best of what bluegrass has to offer — as being named the 2024 IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) New Artist of the Year would suggest. But their talent as singers, instrumentalists, and composers is just the beginning. The secret to East Nash Grass lies in their unflinching ability to be themselves. It certainly helps that they are a veritable supergroup of award-winners who have been performing longer than some might guess they’ve been alive, with experience working with Dan Tyminski, Tim O’Brien, Sierra Hull, and Rhonda Vincent, as just a start. After hundreds of sets (and countless late-night jams) in Nashville, East Nash Grass has coalesced into the hair-raising ensemble of Harry Clark (mandolin), Cory Walker (banjo), James Kee (guitar), Maddie Denton (fiddle), and Jeff Partin (bass/dobro). Their love of both bluegrass and the absurd can be felt in both their live shows and on their new album “All God’s Children” (Mountain Fever, 2025), which keep listeners on the edge of their seats, marveling at irrefutable mastery and wondering just what might come next.

Lonesome Ace Stringband - Passim
2025-11-23 19:00 - 22:00 | Club Passim, Cambridge, MA, United States
The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit, skill and abandon to a music that lurks on the outskirts of old-time, bluegrass, and folk. The songs of John Hartford, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. Their original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely.
Consisting simply of fiddle (John Showman), clawhammer banjo (Chris Coole), bass (Noah Harrington), and voice, the band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn’t seem like it could come from a trio to a sparse fragility that draws the listener in.
