Portland Casual Jams (for Musicians and Singers)
**UPDATE: Community Jams has moved a new location and starting new jams!** Our new studio is at [2365 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Portland, OR](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mbp8fZtqtzFkcHEZA). To stay updated, please subscribe to our emails at [www.communityjams.org](http://www.communityjams.org)
This is the original founding Meetup site used by Community Jams (www.communityjams.org), the nonprofit organization that evolved out of Portland Casual Jams. With the same vision and inclusivity, Community Jams is place where everyone of all abilities and backgrounds can connect by creating music together. We foster a relaxed, comfortable, and supportive environment where everybody gets a chance to participate and develop their own musical path. Build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy musically collaborating!
We offer open jam sessions almost every day in a customized jam studio in Portland. Each jam is led by an experienced musician. Our sing and play-along jams are easy with the innovative open-source jam web app, bsteele Music App, and our 2000+ song library. (www.bsteele.com/bsteeleMusicApp/)
Check out our calendar of events and rsvp to start connecting through the joy of music!
