The next community music jam at the Marianna Black Library in Bryson City will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1, in the library auditorium.   

As in past years, the December concert will feature holiday favorites. Anyone with a guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, dulcimer — anything unplugged — is invited to join. Singers are also welcome to join.

Patrons are also invited just to come by and listen. The jam is facilitated by Larry Barnett of Grampa’s Music in Bryson City. Normally Barnett starts by calling out a tune and its key signature, and the group plays it together

The music jams are held the first and third Thursday of each month. 828.488.3030.
