We suggest you come to the Old Time Jams and the Irish Jam, all at the Blue Tavern, where you can listen to fine music, get some food and drink, and maybe dance with a partner a little!  The Jams are often held outdoors on the back patio.

Old Time Jams are held on the 2nd and/or 4th Saturday of each month, and the Irish Jam is held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, all at 4:00 -6:00 pm, 1206 N. Monroe St.  For the Old Time Jam, see the Facebook page, or contact Mary at maryallgire "at" yahoo "dot" com
