Due to the growing popularity of its “open mike” jam session held the last Monday of each month, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park has added another monthly jam session to be held on the second Monday of each month as well.

The first second-Monday session will be held Feb. 9, 2009. The second-Monday open mikes will be staged every month except December.

All musicians are invited to participate in the sessions from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. inside the DuPont Lodge. Musicians and listeners alike are encouraged to come early and enjoy a country dinner at the park’s Riverview Restaurant. Dinner hours are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
