Week # 133: “Stormy Monday” Open Blues(R&B) Jam at Sam’s Town Point
Monday, March 29th, 2010 READ THIS: It’s a Jam so it’s a song consensus among the players on stage at the time. It’s a Jam, not a band or personal showcase(See Open Mic below). We’re not asking you to be a ”pro” but learn your instrument then come learn to jam. We don’t mind helping someone who is learning how to jam with others but who will take direction (know the key—turn it down–listen to the band, etc) . Don’t blow the audience out the doors. Volume doesn’t make it better, only louder. Do not hop up onstage without talking to me first.
PLEASE READ: SIGN UP SHEET NEAR THE DOOR. First signed up, first served. Find me, Breck, or a house band member, when you come in. If you show up past 10:30 you may or may not play depending on how many have signed up ahead of you. Bring what you need to play(a guitar and an amp?).
