Any places to jam around East San Diego (La Mesa, Grossmont, El Cajon, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley) or the South Bay areas (National City, Chula Vista)?
There is a small group of Slack Key guys - Southern California Slack Key Society (TP names Chunky Monkey, Mika Ele, Wdf, BBenzel) who play at Kaisen's in Oceanside (Open Mic) every Tuesday night. We regularly get together otherwise. Mika Ele does a large Uke group on Wednesday or Thursday night in Carlsbad. I don't play Uke so I don't know the details. I live in Tierrasanta (San Diego). Email me for info
Iwalani, Were you looking to jam on guitar (slack key) or with ukulele. [Chunky Monkey] already mentioned the SCSKS slack key Open Mike on Tuesdays.
