View Full Version : York Beach Maine
Heading to my favorite spot on the planet soon for salt water, sun, lobster and hopefully, a little mandolin playing.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any decent jams or open mics in the area where one might find an opportunity to play ...
Thanks!!

probably should be posted to the regional jams section.
It depends on what you play. I live in Kittery. There is an irish session in Portsmouth and a bluegrass session in Eliot. Joyce Anderson plays in York once a week.
Hi atracksler! Thanks for the tip on the jams ... especially the one in Eliot ... how far a drive would you guess that is from York?
I know Joyce from her "NY days" ... In fact we were in the same band for a while when she lived down here so I was thinking of looking her up. She still has the weekly thing going at "Inn on the Blues"? I sat in with her there for a couple of tunes about two years ago when I was last up. She is one awesome fiddle player ...
Anyway ... thanks again for the info!

just so you know, joyce was around 8 months pregnant the day of her cd release party(a month or so ago). i don't think she's been doing much lately. the inn on the blues has changed hands so i am not sure what the schedule there is.
Hi guys ... Thanks agian for the info!! That's great news about the Eliot jam being pretty close and about Joyce! She must be really psyched!
atracksler ... is there any additional info on the Eliot jam ... a website, street address, phone number ... anything to help me find my way to them? Do you know what night /time things get going over there?
Thanks Again!

I havent been in a while - so I'm not sure whats going on, I will make some calls today. It is in a church across from the middle school in eliot (you'd think after living here for almst 10 years, I'd know the names of places, but ....). It is not anything particularly formal, it starts around 4pm and goes till around 7. Usually its bluegrass/gospel/old country.

The jam is at the Eliot Congregational Church, it starts at 4:30. Maybe I'll see you there.
