Where, when and how you&'ll get onstage.
The Holmesburg Jam, Quaker City Yacht Club, Princeton Street at the river. The site, www.holmesburgjam.com, boasts a wealth of links, fiddling Ed Pollak’s epic survey of every kind of acoustic bluegrass/country/old-time jam out there (including a slow jam for those who fear keeping up with hot pickers) and advice on jam etiquette. The list covers four states, so no excuses about it being too far to drive.
