We will help those who are learning how to jam with others and who will take direction (tune it up–know the key—turn it down–listen to the band, etc) . Think about how many songs you want to do before you do endless soloing. Not everyone has to solo on every song. Then the group may end up doing only two songs. Share the vocals if there are two singers. Don’t blow the audience out the doors. Volume doesn’t make it better, only louder.

Open Jam—open genre(except rap/metal/grunge). Usually a lot of classic rock and blues are played but you never know who will show up and play what! 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 showcase. Do not hop up on stage without my approval. Thanks.
