There is a bluegrass jam and concert on the First Saturday every month in Pearl Texas. Pearl is West of Waco and the jam is located in an old schoolhouse. The auditorium holds the main concert, and the classrooms have either a place to dine or multiple jams.
Pearl is NOT on old maps so when you get close you may have to ask a local selling gasoline. It is worth the search and a lot of fun to camp on site and enjoy the crowd.
Excellent, Harold!! Thanks for sharing this Jam information in the Forum!! The great thing about it being here is it has less liklihood of immediately disappearing after you exit! Now, only a reference to this Forum needs to be repeated, not all of the Jam information, each time anybody asks about such information. Sure hope more of the same type of information is posted for Bluegrass listeners, and readers, WorldWide!! Thank you very much, Harold! A very thoughtful and kind thing to do, sir!!
Well folks, I went there last Saturday and wish to report that everything is much better than I reported. They started the show around 12:30 and each band had 45 minutes to present their selection of bluegrass. While they were playing different groups were practicing or jamming in other rooms and on the grounds. Better location information. The nearest city is Gatesville TX on US Hwy 84. Go West from Gatesvills for about 12 miles and turn South on State Hwy 183 for about 8 miles. The schoolhouse has become a community center where the Pearl Jam is.
