Jamming in the Woods: Women's Jam Weekend

Get Your Jam On! A Weekend of Old-Time Music for Women in Beautiful Brown County
Dust off your stringed instrument and join us for Jamming in the Woods, a fun-filled weekend of old-time music, sisterhood, and nature in the heart of Brown County, Indiana! This workshop is designed for adult women of all skill levels, from seasoned jammers to those who've always wanted to try but never dared. We especially encourage beginners to come and discover the joy of making music with others in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Hosted by Hoosier Adventure Expeditions in partnership with Allie Jean Music
