This Saturday’s jam was a trip through time starting with some classic blues, stopping by the ‘60s with The Who’s My Generation, and nodding to the ‘90s with bands like Smashing Pumpkins and the GooGoo Dolls. It was a small group but that didn’t stop us from jamming, trying new songs and, most importantly, having […]
We were seeing double at this Saturday’s jam! We had two drummers, two bassists, musicians playing two instruments, two songs blended into one, and even and two Tool shirts! How do we manage it all? When we have multiple musicians of the same instrument (for example, two drummers or 8 guitarists) they take turns or […]
This was a special day in GroMusic history. Not only was this GroMusic’s 13th birthday, it was the 300th jam! That’s 900 hours of music from people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. Some members have been with us since day 1 (okay, technically day 2) and others we’ve just met. We celebrated with […]
It was a full house for Jam #299 with old-timers, newcomers, and everything in between, including a special appearance by a long-time friend of GroMusic who also happens to be a singer! We put on our Cheap Sunglasses and blew Rhiannon a Kiss as we rode alongside Mustang Sally with an eclectic mix of music […]
This week was a small but mighty Jam, one that allowed us to play around with more complicated rhythms that are difficult to tackle in a large group, such as a song by Tool which was our “magic or tragic” feature of the night. Which one was it- magic or tragic? The jury may still […]
On May 28th GroMusic hit a record number of Jam Session attendees with over 20 musicians! There were multiple guitarists, bassists, drummers, singers and more, all taking turns on stage, ensuring a good time was had by all. We even welcomed a singing, dancing, maraca-shaking audience moving along to everything from Gimme Two Steps by […]
Written by GroMusic Member Chris Pinkston, May 23, 2022 When I was in elementary school back in the early eighties, my brother taught me how to play the drums. We had a small set of Rototoms and a cheap Ludwig 3-piece drum set. As I grew to love playing the drums throughout high school, I had a […]
This week was a special one for GroMusic as we settled into our new home at Bomb Shelter Rehearsal and Recording Studios! We’d like to extend a huge thank-you to the owners, Britt and James, for welcoming GroMusic with open arms, and to Beau who made sure we had everything we needed and went out […]
GroMusic welcomed in several new members to the group at the last Jam – and what a heck of a Jam to come to! We knocked out a few of the good ol’ Jam session classics like Hard to Handle, Heard it Through the Grapevine, Born to Be Wild, and Miss You, while also adding […]
Spring is a season for growth, and we’re all about that here at GroMusic! This week we slowed it down with songs like “Wild Horses,” sped it up with others like “Let the Good Times Roll,” and expanded our minds by learning an original from one of our members, Joe. Jam sessions are a fantastic […]
