It was a ghoulishly good time in the showcase room at Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios, celebrating Halloween with music for the 13th year in a row! The Halloween Jam is always a treat (and never a trick), packed with songs of the season including the haunting I Put A Spell On You, cult classic Time […]
Feel Like Makin’ Music (#30...
GroMusic welcomed many new faces, and voices, at the Jam on Saturday. Whether grooving to Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sherriff,” rocking out to Blondie’s “Call Me,” or jamming through the blues, it’s always incredible to see and experience how music brings people together. It’s a language everyone can speak, evoking emotions everyone can feel. […]
Another Jam Bites the Dust (#30...
It was a packed house at Bomb Shelter Rehearsal Studios this late September evening with lots of new faces and old friends. It was a blues-heavy night with classics from across decades and genres sprinkled in, such as Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust, Blondie’s One Way or Another and The Rolling Stones’ Miss You. […]
Jamming Away the Blues (#30...
Have you ever wondered how a jam session runs and what you can expect from going to one? Watch our video to get a glimpse! A straight-forward blues jam is a great way to get tuned up and check volume levels, and usually kicks the night off. Songs chords and lyrics are projected for members […]
Stayin’ Alive, and Jamming! (#30...
Sometimes the talent that is heard at these jams is incredible and inspiring but you don’t need to be a professional to jam with us! Whether you’ve been playing for half a month or half a century, you’ll fit right in here. Members come to GroMusic Jam Sessions for all sorts of reasons: to teach, […]
Talking About My Jammeration(#30...
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 […]
Jam Away (#30...
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 […]
300 Jams and Gro-ing (#30...
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 […]
Should I Jam or Should I Go? (#29...
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 […]
Man in a Jam (#29...
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 […]
