Custer's Grass Band, Olivia Brownlee and Kat Bula.
The schedule is jamming from 4-6 (door opens at 4 pm), finger food potluck at 6, and concert at 6:30. It's relatively easy to access it from the Maple Street exit on I-90. It's located at 4340 Whistalks Way, just below Spokane Falls Community College, and just up from Government Way... It has ample parking... We will offer the same low ticket prices of $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers for the 2025-6 season. (This applies for the jam and/or the concert) Yearly membership is still $25 per family, and children are free... Please note we can not process credit cards--cash or check only.
Please no food or drinks in the seating area. There is an area to sit and eat with a view of the concert between the concert area and jamming room. The bands donate their performances, and we will continue the tip jar to help them defray their expenses...
