Songs from other genres are fine if played in a bluegrass style, and the host may decline a selection to keep things running smoothly. Original tunes are welcome when they are easy to follow, keeping in mind this is a jam rather than an open mic. When the group is large, those not leading may be asked to sit in an outer circle. The jam is free, and attendees are encouraged to support the venue by purchasing beverages and tipping the bartender. Non-drinkers are welcome and can still show support with a tip. Buying the host a beer is considered good etiquette. Charts are allowed if they do not get in the way of others, though memorizing is encouraged. Dogs are welcome, and the gathering is open to those under 21. If a tune is not your speed, you can sit it out. Food is not served on site, but outside food is allowed and a food truck may be arranged when there is interest. Helpful resources are available, including a song of the week, playlists, and charts, and familiarity with the Nashville Number System can make following along easier.

Minimal, computer-built backdrops created with John Rogers and Eric Muhs provide a shimmering frame that contrasts with the fuller noise of her trio Student Nurse. Dreams Down Deep brings postmodern alternative rock founded by Seattle singer songwriter Randall Lorin Pape, drawing inspiration from Wim Wenders, Siouxsie Sioux, Jim Jarmusch, Nick Cave, Radiohead, Blonde Redhead, Bela Lugosi, and Bauhaus. The songs weave personal narrative with flashes of optimism against darker, end-times colors.

Electro Dance Class & Open Session - Donation Based. Dance to EDM!
Experience a donation-based Electro dance class paired with an open session at Shift Movement & Healing Arts, centered on moving to EDM. Electro emerged in the early 2000s at a Paris club and is driven by expressive armwork, blending elements of hip hop, vogue, glowsticking, disco, and popping into a fast, flowing style. Outside the dance community it was often mislabeled as Tecktonik, which was the name of a branded party that helped it go viral, while the dance itself has always been Electro. Half of the gathering is guided learning, starting with a warmup and foundational drills, variations, and short combos that build skills and conditioning. The remaining time opens the floor for practice, conversation, and individual feedback so you can refine your style at your own pace. The music spans Electro, Electro House, Electroclash, Techno, Bass House, Trance, House, and other four-on-the-floor sounds, and the style also adapts well to Hip Hop, Bass, drum and bass, and Disco. Electro offers a dynamic way to interact with EDM, with interval-like pacing that delivers a solid cardio workout. It can be a refreshing alternative if shuffling is not your preference or if you want something different from typical gym or dance fitness routines. Contributions are pay-what-you-can with no obligation if finances are tight. Please bring a refillable water bottle, as filtered water is available. Wear clean indoor non-marking shoes and leave outdoor footwear off the dance floor. Help maintain a considerate space by avoiding smoking, vaping, alcohol, and strong fragrances, and direct any concerns to the instructor. Doors may lock from the outside, so arriving on time helps with entry. For access details and communication, updates are handled through Instagram rather than Meetup.

The Triple DoorAcoustic Alchemy
Dimitriou's Jazz Alley hosts a four-night run by Acoustic Alchemy, a contemporary instrumental jazz group performing five shows. The current lineup features Greg Carmichael on nylon-string guitar, Miles Gilderdale on steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, Jay Rowe on keyboards, Gary Grainger on bass, and Greg Grainger on drums and percussion, with one evening offering an additional second set. Formed in the UK and shaped across the United States, the band has earned three Grammy nominations and spent more than three decades expanding the expressive range of the acoustic guitar. Their music draws from jazz, folk, rock, and global influences to reach listeners across styles. The story began in the mid-1980s with guitarists Nick Webb and Simon James self-releasing an album under the name Acoustic Alchemy. After James departed to study flamenco, Webb partnered with Greg Carmichael, first creating music for Virgin Airlines before signing with MCA for the 1987 debut Red Dust & Spanish Lace. A successful period on GRP followed, highlighted by the Grammy-nominated Reference Point, and later chapters included a move to EMI’s Higher Octave for releases such as Aart in 2001, their best-selling album and also Grammy-nominated. Milestones since then include the double live collection Live in London in 2014, featuring material from Roseland alongside favorites from their catalog, and the 2018 studio album Thirty Three and A Third. In recent years, the group has solidified around Carmichael, Gilderdale, Rowe, and the Grainger brothers, continuing to chart an adventurous course in contemporary jazz.
