These monthly open jam sessions provide a space for all Bay Area musicians to come together and perform in an inclusive, multigenerational setting. Each session features a musical director and curated repertoire. We invite musicians of all levels and ages to sign up, and each session is free and open to the public; sign up to play or register in advance for your free tickets. Select SFJAM sessions will take place in our beautiful Miner Auditorium!
Sign-up links will become available a few weeks before each session, so check back soon!
Non-performing patrons are also invited to attend and watch each session. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations or tickets are needed to attend — just show up!
The SFJAM program is made possible through the generosity of Jimmy Hormel, Amy and Glenn Oclassen, Jr.
