This is a jamming event! Tune up your guitar, rosin up that fiddle bow and get ready to pick 24/7. You can play music in the beautiful tree-filled courtyard all day and all night. When you get hungry (for something besides music), check out the Windmill Food Hall, conveniently located adjacent to the hotel. This food venue features a dozen different restaurants and a full bar.
Rooms must be reserved for at least two nights. No single day room bookings are available under the CBA discounted rate. Everyone is welcome to attend! However, you won’t get the steep room discounts or the 24/7 jamming rooms unless you are a current CBA member. CBA membership costs just $30 and you can join now in just minutes. Click here to join.
Remember, you don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to enjoy this free jamming event or any of the extras (workshops, open jams, concerts, contests, and more), but if you’d like to stay at the hotel – don’t hesitate!
