Jam Crawl—What’s that? Special to bluegrass music is the art of jamming. Jamming is basically de-fined as “2 or more musicians making music together but not an official band.” And at any given time, but mostly at night, there are numerous spontaneous jam sessions that occur throughout the festival grounds. Tra-ditionally these jams occur in the camping area after the nightly mainstage shows. So, in order to let Summergrass fans experience this jamming phe-nomena, we have placed a campground map here below and given you
some indications (see musical note icon*) where some jams have been seen in the past couple of years. There are no guarantees these will happen again, but you just never know. You can be a part of the nightly Jam Crawl by strolling through in the campground each night and experiencing these jam sessions. Jam Crawl
brings out the pickers and the grinners that keeps the Summergrass fun going on!
