The legendary Baltimore Bluegrass Jam is back at Peabody Heights brewery on May 16th and May 30th for two nights of ridiculously fun bluegrass music! All are welcome to play along in the jam regardless of skill level or instrument. Even if you don't play, you can come to soak in the scene, listen to the music, enjoy a few pints of Baltimore’s best craft beer, and grab a bite to eat from a local food truck.

Come get your heart's desire of fiddle & banjo music at Peabody Heights Brewery. Peabody Heights has all of the best community vibes going on and is a treasure in the Orioles' history here in Baltimore.

May 16th's special guest is fiddler player extraordinaire Shannon Bielski from West Virginia. These are gonna be some fun Baltimore Bluegrass Jams. Come hang, bring your dogs, and play a few arcade games while you're here too.
