The Roswell Music Jam is a direct growth of the musicians of Roswell Presbyterian Church. One Sunday Morning in Spring 2022, between the end of Sunday School and the beginning of Modern Service, a few of us were sitting in the lobby of Alderman Hall. Three of us had our guitars since we had played for Sunday School youth. We pulled out our guitars and started playing Blues, Bluegrass, and such. Roswell Music Jam was born. We then worked with the church staff to see if we could create an official group with the following parameters: on a weeknight, community-facing, welcoming to all levels of musicians, and with a focus on teaching and community. We average between 30-40 people per Tuesday who come to play Bluegrass, Blues, Folk, and Americana. We split into groups of about ten players by genre and skill. All are welcome and encouraged.
