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.
ENTRY IS FREE!
Musicians and music lovers all welcome.
For musicians, see Jam Night Rules
below.
