The STP blues jam #138.8 at Sam’s Town Point on June 23

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Note: “The Eagle Flies on Friday” Jam will not be happening this Friday, 6/25, due to a party at Sam’s. The Young Generation, a full band of young but good players, will be playing. I like ‘em. Come in and check ‘em out. No cover.

The Friday jam will resume July 2. Same format as Wednesdays but a more open genre(except rap, grunge, metal). Blues, classic rock—who knows.

Our regular Wed bass player, Jack, has opened a cafe. Due to the cafe’s success he will not be able to play with us as much so we are looking for a house bassist on Wed (and Friday as well). Come in, check it out, be checked out, and see if it’s a fit.
