The Dynamics of an Open Mic. Jam
It’s an amazing experience exploding with the shrapnel of different artists. Sometimes it’s 7 piece band, with any assortment of different instruments. Sometimes it’s a solo of angst and somber melodies from a beautiful young artist just showing her wings. – Marcus Collier
Well said, Marcus. They are also a place for introduction, education, collaboration, and experimentation. At an open mic. Jams, opportunities become available. Sign the list and be prepared to play. New to the field or need some advice, seasoned veterans are there to assist. It truly is the most amazing collaboration of talent I have ever witnessed.
The jams have been a learning experience, singing has always been a part of who I am, but the experience on stage with extraordinary musicians has pushed me forward and has made me a real vocalist. – Don Mabry
Thanks for all the pictures! I always enjoy your work.
