OTAF Old Time Jam at Russell Field
2025-07-24 19:30 - 22:30, 2025-07-31 19:30 - 22:30, 2025-08-07 19:30 - 22:30 | Russell Field Playground, 359 Rindge Ave, Cambridge, MA, United States
Old-Time Almost Fridays jams will be moving to the Russell Field Playground near Alewife in N. Cambridge. It’s less than a quarter-mile from the end of Route 2, has ample parking, and is less than a five-minute walk from the Alewife T Station. The schedule of the jams will remain similar:
7:30 pm Beg/Int Old-Time Jam
8:30 pm Int/Adv Old-Time Jam
Weekly hosts will keep things moving along.
Here’s what we’ve learned about jamming at the Russell Field Playground:
(1) There are two parking lots on Rindge Ave. on either side of the little league park (Comeau Field): the lot with the cul-de-sac (to the west of the field) is usually full, but there’s tons of space in the lot to the east of the ballpark, which is the lot for the Francis J. McCrehan Swimming Pool at 359 Rindge Ave., in Cambridge, MA 02140 (please note this is not the same location as Russell Field, which is the football field next-door).
(2) We often jam near the sprinkler spot (a.k.a. splash pad) near the yellow canopy, which is between the pool, the playground, and the ball field.
(3) There are working port-a-johns right there, so everyone can have that true “festival experience”.
(4) Please bring a folding chair (preferably without arms).
(5) It’s not as well lit as some people might like, so if you have a small camping lantern, you might want to bring one.
(6) Mosquitos were mostly not an issue, but you still might want to bring bug spray or wear heavier clothes, as long as it’s not too hot.

An Evening with Shadowgrass
2025-07-25 20:00 - 22:30 | Off the Rails, 90 Commercial Street, Worcester, MA, 01608, United States
Shadowgrass began in 2014 when Clay Russell (Banjo), Luke Morris (Mandolin), Kyser George (Guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk Creek, VA. Sometime before their first real show, the name Shadowgrass was suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool”. Kyser, Clay, and Luke were 9, 13, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their early twenties, their influences and listening habits have changed drastically, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They have welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris, who also lends vocals and songwriting prowess, andbass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade off lead vocals, and harmonies seamlessly with one another. Their commitment to and keen interest in songwriting brings additional dimensions to the band, allowing the group to appeal to listeners outside of the expected jamband community.

Stillhouse Junkies
2025-08-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Club Passim, Cambridge, MA, United States
A crowd-thrilling trio from the hills of Colorado, Stillhouse Junkies share the kind of strangely charmed chemistry that elevates both artist and audience alike. Since forming in 2017, the Durango-bred band have offered up a hypnotic and high-energy form of roots music anchored in the free-flowing interplay among the three lifelong musicians (Fred Kosak on guitar and mandolin, Cody Tinnin on upright bass, Alissa Wolf on fiddle). While they’ve gained major traction in the bluegrass world in recent years — including winning the IBMA Momentum Band of the Year award in 2021—Stillhouse Junkies ultimately inhabit a genre – blurring and subtly inventive sound informed by everything from blues to classical to Texas swing. When matched with their nuanced songcraft and soul-stirring harmonies, the result is a one-of-a-kind musical experience that immediately transports the listener into a more enchanted state of mind.
