MORE ABOUT US
Kimberly Burke and J. J. Breazeale met in guitar class at Swallow Hill Music and they have been fast friends ever since. They noticed there were not many women in their classes, or teaching, or at jams or on stages. Why not? Learning an instrument, playing and singing with others and the friendships that come along with that is amazing- and FUN. So one day they decided to try to do something that would get more women involved in music and connect the ones who already were. Kimberly & J. J. co-founded Mountain Mamas Music in 2019, a group dedicated to supporting women in music through community and education.
At Mountain Mamas Music, we value inclusivity and learning in music and beyond. We host camps, workshops & jams for women to learn how to jam, pick a solo, write songs, and play guitar/mandolin/banjo/bass/ukulele. We get together just for fun too, oftentimes to support another Mama's gig! MMM strives to provide a welcoming and safe space for learning, where you can stretch your creative expression without judgment. And meet some cool people along the way.
As you can guess, COVID-19 put a halt on our in-person jams and workshops, but we are working on some ways to be together, safely. Stay tuned! In the meantime, check out our ALL NEW ONLINE CLASSES.

Get ready to play around and make some "silly" sounds and move our bodies a little bit! The goal is to really expand our vocal toolbox so that we can sound the way we want to sound.

WHY WOMEN LOVE MOUNTAIN MAMAS MUSIC
Thank you so much for putting together a safe place where I felt comfortable exploring new techniques, singing and group play. It was a supportive environment where I pushed myself to try something new. I look forward to the opportunity to attend more MM camps and workshops where I can continue to build confidence! I so appreciate this weekend I spent with friends, new and old. THANK YOU!
I am a lifelong learner and appreciated being at this workshop where I gained helpful skills and met amazing women!🤠☮️🎶
As a beginner, this camp was amazing! I left the camp more c0nfident in my skills and with new friends! What a treat to learn from and alongside some phenomenal musicians and women! I can't wait for the next camp!!
It was really inspiring and so much fun to sing and play with just ladies. So often in a jam I may be the only female. I look forward to more opportunities with the Mamas.
I had a wonderful time and loved learning from such wonderful ladies and spending time with great people!
THANK YOU to JJ and Kimberly for all of your hard work to make this happen. I feel super lucky to be a part of it and love feeling the camaraderie and encouragement from the other campers.
SING & PLAY WITH US
We like to sing together at the end of our camps. In October 2019, Andrea Pares taught us how to harmonize the chorus to "Redesigning Women" by The Highwomen and BRANDI CARLILE approved!! Check it out!
