New Jam at John Strongbow's Pub

Greetings, all,

After a hiatus, we’re relaunching the DC-Area Scottish Jam Session launches anew at a new location, John Strongbow's Tavern (http://johnstrongbows.com), located at 710 King St. in Alexandria. John Strongbow’s is a Medieval and Renaissance themed pub that opened up in conjunction with Medieval Madness.

The jam will take place from 2 PM - 5 PM this coming Sunday, 1/25/2015, and if all is successful, will repeat on the 4th Sunday of every month.

So come on out, bring your instruments, and play Scottish tunes on Rabbie Burns’ birthday!
