About Roswell Music Jam
My name is Cade Thacker, and I'm glad you are here....
I play mandolin, guitar and bass. In Spring 2022, I was looking for other musicians to play with. After searching for jams all around the Atlanta / North Georgia area, I came to realize that Roswell was in the middle of the jam wasteland. Rather than drive about an hour in any direction to a jam, I decided just to start one in Roswell and grow it. But we are doing things differently. I grew up on a steady diet of Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and Dave Matthews Band. In my early 20s, I ran across a Jerry Garcia & David "Dawg" Grisman album of Miles Davis tunes called "So What", which caused me to split paths into Bluegrass, Blues, and Jazz all at the same time.
So this Jam will have a foundation of Bluegrass, but we will be mixing in other circles on the Jam Band side of the world! So if you love Traditional Bluegrass or 20 minute Phish Jams, JamGrass or anything inbetween, there is room for both here!
We held our first Bluegrass Jam on May 15, 2022 had 8 people. Most of which were my own family. :D Now we are pushing 50 per jam and still growing! We have added Americana and Jam Band and Blues circle. We have dedicated Circle Leaders for each group!
But more important is our focus more of Community and Encouragement than performative. We want all musicians to grow, but not at the expense of beginners or frustrations at missed notes. We all get better together!
