Jamming Eight Days a Week (Almost)

One of the best ways to experience live music is by attending any of the many Jam Nights around town. You'll see seasoned musicians, young upstarts, and people who just want to play. Surprising combinations of players can spark magic when you least expect it. It's truly humbling to witness the wealth of talent right here in front of us.
