Blues Jams
IBS jams provide a friendly space for musicians to connect, collaborate, and develop their skills in a supportive environment. They offer a creative outlet for both experienced and amateur players, with opportunities to practice live performance, learn from others, and build community. Ultimately, jams are a way for musicians to collectively experience and celebrate blues music, creating authentic and spontaneous musical conversations. Blues fans are welcome!
