About The Jam

The Fiddlers' Green Bluegrass Jam occurs on the first Sunday of every month from 4:00 - 8:00 pm in the Fiddlers' Green Irish Pub located at 19 Temple Street in downtown Worcester, MA. Even though the Pub also hosts an Irish Seisiun on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, this is a true "Bluegrass" jam and is not a Celtic, folk, old-time, or country music jam.

This all-acoustic jam features the traditional bluegrass instrumentation of banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, upright bass, and vocals.

In addition to having great ambiance, the Fiddlers' Green Pub also offers food, spirits, Keno, big screen TVs, plenty of free parking, and a convenient location just off I-290.
