| January Ice Jam Bluegrass Music at its Coolest ! |
The January Ice Jam is a FREE family friendly event held annually
in Butler, PA.
It is hard to believe that fifteen years have gone by since the
inception of the Jam! Coming together for all of those years has
provided bluegrass music lovers the opportunity to get together
and celebrate the music that we are so passionate about. Within the
music we have found a community of friends who over the years have become more like family. An indoor
event, the Ice Jam is capable of attracting thousands of fans creating the perfect atmosphere for musicians
and listeners alike. Newcomers are welcomed with open arms by this wonderful group!
The Butler Days Inn is our venue host providing sleeping rooms, jamming rooms, food (for purchase) and a
huge hall where numerous bands supply our listening audience the opportunity to be entertained by a new
group every half hour. Over the two day event, up to 32 bands can take the stage engaging the audience with
traditional, contemporary and gospel bluegrass music. The Ice Jam attracts bands from all over the tri-state
area, bringing them together to form what is considered to be one of the area’s finest showcases of
bluegrass talent.
All of the proceeds from the event are donated to charity, which, according to some, is the reason behind the
event's popularity. Donations are accepted throughout the weekend and are used to support bluegrass
programming at WYEP, a listener supported radio station and friends of bluegrass in need, providing an extra
boost in the form of money and the emotional backing of the bluegrass community. Please contribute to this
very worthwhile cause.
Whether you are a beginner, a seasoned musician or simply a great pair of ears, why not stop by to see what
all of the fuss is about?
The Ice Jam staff is proud of their efforts and is honored to be a part of this popular event and of the ability to
help so many in need. If you would like to become a part of our volunteer staff, or if you know of someone
who is in need of our help, please contact us.
