George, down here in NC there are a couple of local jams that I attend . One is at a small local music store on saturday afternoons sponsored by the store . The other was started by a guy who just wanted to get things going. He found a local social spot which he must be a member of and has just started friday night jams, open to the public for free. No pay, no door charge, no liquor. Maybe you can take matters into your own hands. The music store jam I attend has opened up many doors for me as I have met many new players and friends. Each week the music store jam has at least half dozen players and a few singers showing up. I don't attend every week but maybe every few weeks.
Good luck
