A bluegrass jam meets every Thursday evening at The Gaslight Dining Saloon in Rockerville, South Dakota. It has no name of its own: it is the Thursday jam at the Gaslight, and this page is titled the way people say it.[unverified]

It meets in the front room, in a ring of chairs by the stone fireplace, and it has been running long enough that the venue advertises it on the side of the building.[unverified]

The jam met on Thursday 27 August 2026 with about a dozen players.JMyles, participant[unverified]

When

Six in the evening.The Gaslight Dining Saloon official site The banner on the front of the building says 6:30 to 8:30, which is the advertised time rather than the observed one.Photograph of the venue frontage, 27 August 2026 Somebody who goes every week should confirm the hour and correct this.[unverified]

What gets played

Bluegrass and country-western, intermixed, in one circle rather than two — the song-circle material is part of the same evening and not a separate gathering.JMyles, participant[unverified]

Instrumentation on a typical night runs to guitars, with a banjo and an electric bass. There are microphones on stands, so the circle is lightly amplified rather than purely acoustic, and at least one player reads words and chords off a tablet.[unverified]

Dinner service runs alongside the jam, and the tables nearest the circle stay occupied by people who came to eat and stayed to listen.[unverified]

Who

Not yet recorded. The host, the players who anchor the circle, and the year the jam started are the three facts most worth chasing down here, and all three live in the memory of whoever has been coming longest.[unverified]
