Community Jams
We do not require masks at weekday jams per OSHA guidance. Only Saturday jams will require masks and proof of vaccination.
Welcome! Community Jams is the nonprofit development of Portland Casual Jams, a network of 4000+ local musicians. We connect musicians of all abilities to foster community, compassion, and harmony by playing live music together. Our studio is centrally located at 211 SE Madison St in Portland, OR.
