This may have been our most eclectic Jam to date. The video alone includes The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Tommy Tutone, Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Frank Sinatra and Rob Thomas! We may not be dead but we are certainly grateful for all the opportunities to push our musical boundaries by trying new things. Classic rock […]
The Silent Jam – #3...
Unfortunately, we do not have any media from this Jam, but the community did get together with newcomers and old-timers alike! Did you take any pictures or video at the Jam? Send them to us at [email protected] and we’ll feature them on the site!
Jamming into Spring (#31...
This video is a shorty but a goody! It’s always a cool and unique experience to hear the blues warm-up that kicks off most Jams morph into a beloved classic like Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Pride & Joy.” Check out those guitars wailing! On the other end of the spectrum, we slowed it down with the […]
April Fool’s? – (#31...
Every once in a while, technology has a mind of its own and that was the case in early April. Instead of our usual 20+ minute montage of classics across the decades, we have a snippet of the oldie-but-goodie Hotel California. Is it perfect? No. Does it matter? Also, no. It’s not about being perfect. […]
Gimme All Your Jammin’ (#31...
After well over a decade of bi-monthly Jams we welcomed our youngest GroMusic member yet! That’s right- kids can come too! At GroMusic we pride ourselves on helping make music accessible to the community. With school music programs being defunded all over the country, it’s an honor to be able to provide a place for […]
Boogie Jams – (#31...
Winter may have snuck its way through the month of March here in “sunny” California but a little rain can’t keep us down! Did you know that over half a dozen guitarists can play at once and it can still sound good? That’s because at GroMusic we strive to make our Jams a fun, interactive […]
’90s Night! (#31...
February 25th was a special night for GroMusic, as it was our first non-holiday themed Jam. The theme? ‘90s music! It was certainly popular, as we hosted our largest group this year so far. We spiced it up with keys and harmonica, and mixed it up playing everything from Sublime’s What I Got to Radiohead’s […]
A Hard Day’s Jam (#31...
‘Twas the Saturday before Valentine’s Day and love was in the air, the love of music that is! It’s always incredible to see how music can bring people together, from school-aged rockstars to retirees, and everything in between. As our many guests spanned the generations, so did our lineup with songs by The Beatles, ZZ […]
Don’t Stop Jamming(#31...
This second Jam of 2023 was an average-sized gathering of about a dozen musicians but it certainly wasn’t an average night! From 4-part harmonies on Fat Bottomed Girls, to a smooth transition from Miss You to Fly Like An Eagle, the magic far surpassed the tragic. We tried some songs for the first time, such […]
Jingle Bell Jam – (#31...
It may always be the season for jamming but once a year GroMusic tunes into the holidays with fresh takes on classics like Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and Baby It’s Cold Outside, and funkier grooves such as Backdoor Santa. One highlight of the night was Charles Brown’s Please Come Home for Christmas, complete with […]
