Summit County Arts - Musician Jam Session

We all enjoy music, and Summit County has excellent opportunities for music lovers to participate. Jam sessions are fantastic places to introduce yourself to others, test out your chops, or just sit back and take it all in.

Wednesday Frisco Bluegrass Jam

The music scene in Frisco continues to flourish with the advent of the Wednesday Frisco Bluegrass Jam. Acoustic musicians of all levels–local or otherwise are welcome to join in each Wednesday starting at 6:30 pm at Erin Prosit located on 313 Main Street. For musicians, it’s a chance to meet new people, practice with others and play in front of an audience. For the rest of us, it’s a good excuse to go out in the middle of the week.

Escape Together

Whether it’s your first date or umpteenth anniversary, you won’t lack words during date night at the new Frisco Escape Room. Summit County Arts Frisco Escape RoomBased on escape-style video games, where you must make sense of clues to escape from a locked room, the Frisco Escape Room offers immersive, physical puzzles without imprisonment. Owners Ian Greene and Richard Mackoy often create escape rooms inspired by Summit County’s history. In one, for example, you’ll search a 1908 classroom for clues to find Robert Foote’s stolen pocket watch. In an 1800's saloon, clues lead you to the murder weapon. You enter a seemingly ordinary room. There are locks everywhere. How will you open them? As you scan the room, objects that seem to have no value at first start making sense. You open a lock and find a letter. Will it contain clues to your next lock? You work together against the clock to solve your puzzle before the allotted time is up. “It’s super engaging, super fun,” says Greene. “This is an awesome icebreaker. It’s extraordinary for team building. It brings the kid out in you.” 611 Main St., Frisco, 970-668-9669.
