The host band will differ in each session and will play a short set of music to start the night before guests are invited up to play. Depending on jammer numbers, the host band may also play a couple of tunes to end the night.Those interested in getting up to jam are asked to bring their own instrument (see below for provided backline) and sign up with the jam band manager - Mel McCutcheon. Please be aware that this is not an "Open Mic" and those who have signed up to play are expected to have a general working knowledge of common jazz repertoire. We ask that you have a few tunes to suggest when signing up so you are easily connected with other jammers. There is a 2 tune limit per person depending on how many participants there are. Once the jam begins, you will be called up to play with your jam band.
Underage (18 and under) students of jazz music are welcome to attend and to also bring their instrument to play (see below for provided backline) but are asked to remain in the “Young Artist Hang” section at the end of the bar (look for the poster).
We will try to have everyone sit in but please don't be discouraged if the time runs out and you are not invited to play. There will always be a great opportunity to join in the hang!
Provided backline Instruments (depending on host band):
Upright bass, guitar amp, keyboard, drum kit, and microphone will be provided.
