Folk School of Chattanooga’s recent move to the Southside also means a change of venue for the monthly jam of the Friends of Folk Music.
The first meeting in the new location, 1800 Rossville Ave., will be 2-4 p.m. Sunday. The two-hour get-together allows time for individual performances and a jam session for acoustic musicians, said the group’s newsletter editor, Tom Morgan.
The group has been meeting since 1984, Morgan said, and originally was chartered as the Chattanooga Area Friends of Folk Music.
“Our central theme was, and is, to make playing and singing folk music available and user-friendly through monthly jams,” he said.
Early on, Morgan said, the group met at members’ homes, then at Eastgate Mall, Audubon Acres, Harrison Seventh-day Adventist Church and most recently at the Folk School.
