13 USA Open Musical Jam Sessions part13
Wheaton, Maryland, USA: [Unknown]
Marquis, 2418 University Blvd, (301) 942-3292 Tuesday, open mike with Sam
(See the note for the Grand Marquis above. Both bars are run by the same
owner. This place is a bit rougher around the edges. Hell, it's rougher
in the middle, too. Great place to go to watch the fights. And they have
a TV, also. If you like a good rowdy drunk audience, and who doesn't,
check this place out.)

Rick Russell's all-star blues jam at the House of Blues in Harvard Square.
$5 admission gets you a cajun buffet as well as music. NOTE: you need
to stop by/call in the afternoon to audition; generally not a problem
if you're passable, but it's a little weird.

House of Blues (Dan Akroyd's place) is a blues tourist trap, very
interesting, but expensive. If you like blues, go once on a Friday or
Saturday. I went on a Thursday and had to listen to some college student
Commitments wanabees. Buy a tee shirt at the gift shop. If you buy
dinner you get a blues ID card with your picture on it.

Green Briar Restaurant and Pub 304 Washington St., Brighton has an Irish
session every Monday night starting about 9:00 or so, and extending until
closing time (1:00am I believe). This is the extension of the old Coach
House Session which used to be held in Brookline. Several big names in
the local Irish music community occasionally come here, including Johnny
Cunningham, Seamus Connally, and Skip Healy. The bar's telephone number
is (617) 789-4100. The man in charge of the session is Larry Reynolds,
but I don't have his telephone number.
