Week # 129: “Stormy Monday” Open Blues(R&B) Jam at Sam’s Town Point March 1

Monday, March 1st, 2010

8:35-11:57 Every Monday. Keep it bluesy or a derivative thereof. We welcome more drummers and bass players who want to join the jam.

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, please, this is not “American Idol”. 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 (tune it up–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?). Leave your amp in the vehicle if you want but be prepared to bring it in if needed. Amps may be shared by the graciousness of others but guitars are as personal as a toothbrush. The house band will open the jam up with a few songs.

IN HOUSE EQUIPMENT: Drums, PA w/speakers, mics, bass amp & guitar, CASIO PX-400R DIGITAL PIANO w/ 88 Full Size Keys.

HOUSE BAND this Monday: Jeff Grant on guitar/vocals, Jack Funn on bass, Dick Ross on drums.

SINGER-SONGWRITERS/DUO’S/BANDS:If you want your own stage time alone then Tuesday night is OPEN MIC with Mike Welch and Ross Stone–now the Open Mic hosts–and with their technical expertise they will make you sound good. Come check it out. 8:30pm.

Sam’s: 282-0083. 2115 Allred Dr. 78748(In the woods across from HEB center @ Manchaca & Slaughter. South @light @McDonalds on Slaughter. First left (fire station on left). “Up around the bend”;club on right.) Go slow–watch for deer(I’m not kidding).
