The focus is on singing, and open to all! Bring a song to share,

Open Jam

It's a "no-pressure-any-instrument-any-skill-level" jam session!
Playing with other musicians is a fun and challenging opportunity
no musician should pass up. Here's your chance to lead, listen,
share, and learn - all styles and instruments are welcome! "It's a
trial-by-fire experience, where everyone involved walks away
having learned a thing or two." — Westword
Blues Jam
First & Third Wednesdays of every month
John Toebbe of the Colorado Blues Society will host this new and

Got a song you've just got to share? Come play at our open stage.

Best of Open
Stage
Fourth Wednesday of every month
The Café brings something new. A showcase of five artists will
perform 20 minute sets. These artists will be chosen from previous
open stages. This will allow the performer to share more of their
material and the audience to hear more than just a couple of
songs. An advanced open stage, if you will, and a possible
stepping stone to performing a concert at Swallow Hill! Hosted by
Ed McIlvain. |
