Blues Jam Nights Melbourne : MBAS

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:

weekly Jam Nights at the Royal Standard Hotel, West Melbourne, starting on 16th June 2009

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.
