We hold these public events on Sunday afternoons and charge a donation of $15 (only $5 for students). The concert by the featured artist starts at 2:00 PM and is followed by an open jam session. Any instrumentalists and singers in the audience are invited to sit in. We always select a venue that offers food and drink for purchase.
