You’re just a shmo in the audience watching this mini-dram play out on stage. You never know how the routine will be received. A few minutes later your on stage and most likely winging it! It’s like comedy night at the improv. First order of business: decide what songs you all know…at least well enough to attempt. You wipe up the drink you spilled on your shirt and do a quick huddle with your new bandmates. He tells you says, “hey, your up next…and your playing with that gal and those two guys over there.” The house bands are always good and they set the bar fairly high.Ī short while later, usually in the middle of taking a sip of your favorite adult beverage, the Wizard taps you on the shoulder and startles you into spilling your drink. The house bands are always good and they set the bar fairly high.
The audience may not know, but you do, that these dudes have played together for months or maybe years. While you wait, the house band launches into their opening set. Then, somewhere behind that mysterious Wizard of Oz’s curtain, a wizened master of ceremonies pairs you up with other musicians-often ones you don’t know or never played with.
You show up and put your name on a list-noting what instrument(s) you play, if you can sing, etc. What is it that makes open jam nights enjoyable? Jam nights are popular with musicians just looking play, and also for songwriters looking to showcase new material. The Salt Lake open jam scene has been a been great source of entertainment for musicians and adventurous music lovers for many years.
