Welcome to the Pegram Jam's website
Come on in and browse around awhile.
If you're an Old Time musician like us, you should feel right at home with the music you find among these pages. The purpose of our website is to inspire the discovery, teaching and learning of traditional fiddle tunes available from the bottomless well of old time music from all over the world. We hope that playing this music will touch your soul as it touches ours.
For six straight years we recorded our weekly old time jams. In order to help the musicians who attend the jam recall the songs played, we shared them online in mp3 files so that everyone can download, practice and memorize any tunes they especially like. We also created a downloadable booklet of simple chord charts for the tunes we learn to help us remember chord patterns and arrangements.
It gives us great pleasure to share these things with you as well. Most Old Time tunes survived the generations by being handed down, like family heirlooms, from fiddler to fiddler. So in the spirit of that tradition, we pass these musical treasures forward.
If you're looking for listening music, sorry; you won't find performance-quality recordings here, though we think you'd agree that we do have a really good night every now and then. A lot of the time, however, you'll hear us chatting or figuring out chords as we get started on a tune. These recordings are humbly intended as audio reference files. Consider this website your handy "How does that tune go?" resource.
We hope you will enjoy countless hours of pleasure making music with these great tunes, just as we do. We can assure you that they never fail to satisfy us on Tuesday nights out here in Pegram, Tennessee.
