MBAS Blues Jam Nights Melbourne

MBAS hosts regular blues jam sessions giving local blues artists the chance to gain recognition and experience in front of an audience, or just have some fun. We host:



Every Tuesday a feature artist (solo or band) performs prior to the jam.  (See below for upcoming jam night feature artists).


It also provides a networking and social ground for aspiring and established blues musicians to mingle, and exchange ideas and techniques. Visit our jam night photo gallery.

Happy audience



ENTRY IS FREE!

Musicians and music lovers all welcome. 


For musicians, see Jam Night Rules below.
