Pick. Play. Belong.
A home for bluegrass, with banjo at its heart. One shared and welcoming community where bluegrass musicians can earn directly from the fans and students who love their music.
Private beta, invite only. For adults 18 and over.
A home for bluegrass musicians
Solo or in a band, keep your YouTube, your Patreon, your lessons and your gigs. Add a place where the people who support you can find each other, and where every musician’s audience is the same audience.
Nothing new to do
Your page shows the videos you already post on YouTube and TikTok. No exclusive content to make, no schedule to keep, and no one more place to upload.
One shared audience
Every musician’s fans live in the same community, so when it grows, everyone’s audience grows with it. Fans can back more than one musician, and nobody is competing for a slice.
Support, straight to you
Fans back you with a few simple tiers. They pay you directly, with a clear record of every payment. Keep your Patreon if you like; this works alongside it.
Built with you
Banjo All-Star Jam is built by a banjo player who grew up around bluegrass, and it’s shaped by the musicians who join first. Tell us what would make it work for you.
We’re starting with a small group of musicians and building alongside them. Nothing here is a promise of income. If you’d like to see whether it fits how you work, we’d love to hear from you.
Tell us about your workFor learners and fans: keep playing, together
This is a home for people learning banjo and bluegrass, built around learning and getting better together. Whether you picked up a banjo last year or have played for decades, you’ll find the people and the musicians who keep you going.
Your favorite players, in one place
Follow and support the musicians you learn from, and meet the other people who love their playing.
People at your level
Most adult learners quit alone, somewhere in the hard, boring middle. Here you can find others in it with you. Small practice groups come next.
Jams in real life
Opt in to show your city, never your address, and see who plays near you. Then get off the screen and pick together.
Play guitar, mandolin or fiddle too? You’re wanted here. Banjo players need people to jam with.
Don’t play at all? If you simply love bluegrass and want to support the musicians who make it, you’re welcome here too.
Everyone’s an All-Star
Banjo All-Star Jam grew out of Banjo All-Stars (opens in a new tab), a trading-card series celebrating great banjo players. Here, everyone gets a card.
Yours has a portrait drawn in our house style from your photo, and shows how you play, what you’re open to, and the milestones you’ve reached. Add links to your lessons, channel or band, and share it with anyone. Some of the players from the original series are here too, as members like everyone else. Musicians get a card as well, with their links front and center.
