Searsport Shores Jam
JOIN US this spring (starting March 7) on the first and third Saturdays at 2:00 at the Mermaid Plaza in Searsport, Maine, for a fun jam session. Steve says, "Feel free to bring snacks. We’ll go around the circle picking songs people would like to play and spend some time working on tunes we want to get under our fingers."

Searsport Shores Jams at Searsport Shores Ocean Campground are part of the Wednesday at the Shores program supported by the Makers Guild of Maine. We play from 5:00 to 7:00 on Wednesdays during the summer months. All are welcome.
Strung Together: A Maine String Band Weekend will be held September  18-20, 2026.
A tutorial for players new to old-time music is available HERE.
