Players of all skill levels are welcome. Bring your guitar, and an amp and mic if you have one. We will take turns playing songs so all players will have chances to sing and play some songs of their choice. If you feel comfortable just playing along and not singing on your own that’s fine too. Spectators welcome. The bar will be open and there will be an even split draw.
