<Edit - I suggest you go read this entry instead. More info, more up to date. I created another since I had put "beginner/intermediate bluegrass" in this topic name and now there is a more general one that includes this.>
Here's a link to the raleighareapickers Yahoo group
There are jams on some Tuesdays at a music store in Wendell (a little east of Raleigh) and at a member's home in Cary on Thursdays.
Here is the info from the group:
Description
This group is a line of communication for, and invitation to, beginning and
intermediate level musicians in the Raleigh area to join in regular bluegrass jam and practice sessions. Instruments welcome: acoustic guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, acoustic bass (jug requires pre-approval).
Players who like to sing are definitely invited to.
Although called a jam session, sheetmusic is welcome if you want to use it. Join the group and then come join the jam!
The best way for a beginner to decide if this group is for them is to give it a try. A playlist of songs is in the Database area of this Group for new members wanting to get a leg up.this entry
