Electric Campfire Acoustic Jam

Strum Together

By —Sam Machkovech

We're sick of your attitude. Every week, you expect someone else to entertain you—to dance, sing, dunk a basketball, whatever-and that's selfish. Put forth some effort, and be an entertainer instead of an entertainee, slacker! Try the Thursday night acoustic jam session at Sons of Hermann Hall, where you can bring a guitar and get in on the action rather than just sit passively like you do every other week.

The Sons of Hermann Hall on the corner of Elm and Exposition on the outskirts of Deep Ellum has been there for more than a century. Still used as a private lodge, the building is now a Texas Historic Landmark and is open to the public for some of the areas best concerts. Visit the downstairs bar for a drink and a game of pool or shuffleboard, take in a performance of your favorite musical act upstairs in the ballroom, or take a tour of the lodge's historical bowling alley. Not much has changed inside the Sons of Hermann Hall over time. It's like stepping inside a time machine set for decades ago.
