Let's Jam! Calling all Bluegrass Musicians
ORGANIZATION: Forest Preserves of Cook County
Please visit the new page to apply.
Come out and jam! An interest in bluegrass music is a bonus but not required. Use your ability to play an instrument to inspire children to explore the arts and nature.
Youth will have an opportunity to create a simple instrument out of repurposed invasive species and join the jam. You do not need to be an expert to be a part of the jam. The goal is to have fun and learn from other players by improvising with the group.
