What is a "Jam Sandwich" you ask.

How a Jam Sandwich runs

  • Each Jammer fills in a simple Rego Form on arrival.

  • On the Rego Form, we ask for your Name and 'main' musical talent / instrument. along with any other instrument/s that you would be happy to 'sit in' on, for a jam.

  • Jammers' names are then drawn out to create random 4 or 5 piece bands and displayed on a white board at the front of the stage..

  • Subsequent bands are announced progressively throughout the afternoon.

  • Each new 'band' will have time to get together to agree on and quickly work up three (3) songs. Then just tune up your instruments (with a TUNER!!) and hit the stage to perform your fresh musical masterpieces to the adoring crowd!

 

Jam Sandwich Process – A random draw to form a band

  • This 'random draw' Jam Sandwich format  is open to musos of all abilities, ages and musical styles but our focus is Blues Music.

  • Singers and singer /guitarists, come prepared with a few lyrics / chord sheets for a few really well known EASY to perform songs - 3 chord classics. 

  • When the new band is selecting the three songs, make sure everyone is reasonably comfortable with the songs chosen and maybe make a quick cheat sheet if needed. Song name, starting chord, progression any odd chords in the bridge etc. 

  • Before you get on stage... Tune your instrument WITH A TUNER. 

  • When on stage... Give your new band mates the chance to take a lead break... or two maybe even, if you have two lead guitarists, a harp blower or a cool cat on the keys.... share the love around..... but not for too long, we only got limited stage time.

Backline consists of:-

  • Fender Rumble Bass Amp,

  • Vox Guitar Amp,

  • Another Guitar Amp;

  • Tamar Drum Kit with Quality Cymbals;

  • In-house PA with monitor speakers and mixing desk;

  • 3 Shure SM58 Microphones and stands;

  • Music Stands.
