@kingbiscuit I live just north of TC. There aren't any blues-specific jams that I know of, but there are a couple of open mics in town. Keith is a good guy, and may know of something in the region, but you might have to drive a bit for it.
Union Street Station has an open mic on Tuesdays. I've never been, but I know the host, Zeke, another nice guy, and I think he's open to anything. https://www.facebook.com/USSOpenMic
The Hayloft Inn has open mic on Thursdays at 8pm, and the highlights are broadcast on WNMC each week. Blues is welcome, but it's primarily acoustic, and it's a mix of bluegrass, folk, blues, originals, etc. The MC, Bill Dungjen (pronounced dungeon) is a friend of mine and you won't find a more welcoming host.

Thanks for the info easy....I'll try to check one of them out. We're taking our motor home up and meeting Canadian friends at TC State Park. It will depend what they're up for.
Thanks again
