Hosted Jams

Location: Thwing Center at CWRU

At LEFF, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to play music with others, in informal pop-up jams or organized sessions led by knowledgeable performers. Besides the scheduled jams below, jammers are welcome to play in other locations as long as they are considerate and don’t block halls, stairways or exits. Feel like being part of an organized jam? Check out one of the sessions below.
