All musicians and all instruments are welcome; if you play guitar, please bring a small amp, a bass amp is available, and for now, drummers will need to bring a small kit; there are plans to have a drum kit available in the future. Open to beginning and intermediate musicians and vocalists, the jam format is based on the "12 bar blues" song form, which is the foundation of much of our modern Western musical styles, like Jazz, Rock, and Country. The focus is on playing together with other musicians in a "guided" jam environment, learning to listen and interact with other musicians, and gaining facility with the 12-bar song form. Handouts with basic "12 bar blues" elementary music theory are provided, along with handouts outlining some concepts useful to jam participants. We encourage you to bring a song or two in the 12-bar style that you're comfortable singing or playing to share with the group. There are occasional appearances by guest artists who will share some "jam wisdom", insights into playing blues, and general musical fun. A $5.00 donation is appreciated, all proceeds going to the Jazz Station and the Rainy Day Blues Society to support local music. |
