PORTLANDOff Key Easy Bluegrass - Every Sunday 2pm to 5pm
Biddy McGraw's Irish Pub, 6000 N.E. Glisan St.
The Off Key Easy Jam is meant specifically for beginners, lesser-skilled players and those who have never had a place to play outside their own living rooms, though we also have many intermediate players.

It's a comfortable, safe place for all of us who never thought we could play with other people. Our motto: "Nobody's too crummy too play with us!"

Biddy's is a great Irish pub with a long history of live music. It has a great menu, including a $6 Irish breakfast brunch until 3 p.m. Sundays. There's limited parking, but it's very accessible from I-205 and I-84, and there's even a MAX stop just a couple of blocks away at Northeast 60th. Check out their menu at www.biddymcgraws.com.
