IN HOUSE EQUIPMENT: DRUMS, PA W/SPEAKERS, MICS, BASS AMP/GUITAR, CASIO PX-400R DIGITAL PIANO w/ 88 Full Size Keys & Grand Piano Touch(I have one pedal; Bring your own pedals and amp if you prefer-or hook to PA).
HOUSE BAND: GUITAR, DRUMS, BASS.
Harmonica players bring amp or use mic. Everyone bring what you need and don't expect to borrow anyone's amp/guitar. Amps are usually(not always) shared by graciousness of others but guitars are kinda personal.
DON'T PLAY OVER OTHERS. LOUD DOESN'T MAKE BETTER, JUST LOUDER. SPACE IS GOOD.
MONDAY BLUES JAM:(Traditional, Stones, Canned Heat, Jimi H/Stevie Ray), swamp rock or bluesy rock, R&B. KEEP IT Bluesy. This is NOT AN OPEN MIC but a friendly JAM. If you are respectful of others and their playing time/abilities, get up to play and get down when someone else should play then this will be for you. This is not designed for a whole band or one person to play most of the time. It is for musicians to meet musicians and learn from each other. It is to perfect your “chops”. It is for networking. Be respectful of Sam's and don't "blow them out the doors".
ANDY CRIPE/TIM DONNELY usually playing 7-8. Andy plays acoustic old time blues and some of his own favorites. Tim harps along beautifully.
LADIES: "I am one of the occasional gals that shows up and I must say, the Sam's Townpoint Blues Jam is the friendliest bunch of guys I have ever jammed with. MJ"
SINGER/SONGWRITERS/DUO'S/BANDS: If you want your own stage time alone then Tuesday night is Open Mic night with Michael Martinez. Call club for more info.
FOOD INFO:KITCHEN CLOSED FOR A FEW MONTHS. BRING WHAT YOU WANT TO OR ORDER IN FROM OUTSIDE VENDOR. Mary will probably have a small spread of some sort. Make it pot luck--bring sumthin'!
PEACE Y'ALL
