Look at "Meetup" for Raleigh area. Not mandolin specific but many acoustic guitar gatherings that welcom a mandolin player.
There's a bg jam every other Wednesday at a fellow's garage in Hillsborough, off old NC86. I'll get you the info soon.
Londy -
Just visiting or have you relocated?

I know there is a bluegrass jam in downtown Raleigh at The Busy Bee, I think 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. I've only been once, but they seem to be short on mando players, but it is a lively jam for sure in a nice bar. As a resident of Raleigh, I am also interested in any other jams going down!

I'm in Chapel Hill, and up to jam most anytime. Let me know if you'd like to get together. I also host some open jams on meetup: http://www.meetup.com/TriangleBluegr...sicCooperative
Cheers,

Thanks for the messages guys. I am relocating to Chapel Hill and will arrive Feb 12, 2014. I may be open to a jam on Friday 14th just to loosen up a little. I have to unload the PackRat on the 15! Ugggh, im dreading it.
Sheffield's loss is Chapel Hill's gain....Good Luck Londy!
Wow, you guys are fast! Another NC meetup that seems to be active again is here: http://www.meetup.com/bluegrass-144. These are mostly on the eastern side of the Triangle.
Thanks for the good luck wishes guys. I am excited about my new adventure in North Carolina. I cant wait to start getting involved in the music scene, playin in a band or jamming. I have joined a few groups on meetup. Hope to see you all soon!
Hi Dave-
Is the Chapel Hill slow jam on your meetup page the one at the Carrboro Arts Center? I have heard of that one but never been. Trying to find a slow jam to get started. Thanks!

Welcome to Cackalacky, ;)
The Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival is coming up soon in Pittsboro. http://shakorihillsgrassroots.org
And then there is Pine Cone - the Piedmont Council of Traditional Music - tha does some great stuff. https://www.pinecone.org
Enjoy. There is a great music scene around the Triangle, including excellent work by WUNC - I think Back Porch with David Brower.

I have not been on the cafe lately...actually, my attendance is rare anymore. I wanted to give thanks folks for the info you provided on this thread. I get the alerts via email so i do check back. So far, Chapel Hill is really a wonderful place. Very happy I made the move. I have started attending jams and one in particular thanks to David Cottingham, a wonderful host! I will continue to explore the area and I really appreciate all of your help with helping me find jams around here.
No, ours are almost always at private homes. There is, or use to be, a big one at the Nightlight on Rosemary. Looks like you've already got plugged in to ours, look forward to seeing you!

Hi,
I'm in Carrboro, NC....across the tracks from Chapel Hill, but nonetheless a very cool town for mandolin!
I've been out of action for a few years and just started playing out again. I'm at The Station in Carrboro every other Wednesday night with Mahalo Jazz. I'm always interested in meeting local mando enthusiasts and organizing a jam sounds like exactly what I need to get the old fingers cranked up again and meet some new musicians in town.
Come on down to the Station one of these every other Wednesdays, 7PM - 9PM and lets hook up. I think out next gig there is 5/28.

Hey folks, i just wanted to bump up this thread and bring interest back to a Chapel Hill jam. Any takers?
Hi there! I've been occasionally attending the Pine Cone jams at Busy Bee, but would definitely be willing to come out to Chapel Hill for another one!
