This year’s Strung Together Music Jam Campout is held on the coast of Searsport, Maine, September 15-17th, 2023.

Welcome, all players and listeners that appreciate old-time and bluegrass music to a weekend of playing, learning, sharing, and listening with some of the best old-time players in New England.

We invite you to join us in Searsport…and hope that you’ll help us spread the word!
