Week#35: “The Eagle Flies On Friday” Jam at Sam’s Town Point on Friday, Mar 5
Every Friday. 8:35-11:57 Open Jam–open genre(except rap/metal/grunge). Usually a lot of classic rock and blues are played but you never know. Depends on who with what instrument walks in the door. And if you know him–it’s Eddy’s birthday–81 years young. Come see the Leg Hound Ladies Man himself (Eddy) burning up the dance floor!
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 like 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. Don’t hop up onstage without asking 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 (one plastic pedal; Bring your own pedals and amp if you prefer-or hook to PA).
HOUSE BAND this Friday: Renee Guajardo on guitar/vocals, Nykky Dante on bass/keys/vocals, and our house drummer for this Friday, “Jumping” Jack Hammond.
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 and with their technical expertise they will make you sound good. Come check it out. 8:30pm.
