What we’re about
Good day my musical friends! I am proud to introduce The Ballroom Blitz Jam Sessions right in good old Sheridan, CO. We are a group of easy going beginner/intermediate players that would like to get more people into the mix to enjoy our twice a week jam sessions. We have drums, bass amps, guitar amps, keyboard, PA system and many microphones to accommodate a group. All you need to bring is your guitar/bass and positive attitude and open mind to learn & play new songs. Each jam session is about 2 1/2 - 3 hours and it is only $20 for unlimited playtime. We are learning as we go so I will update this post as things evolve. Thank you and I hope to see you there!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Grateful Dead Jam Monday EditionDJ Guy Disc Jockeys, Sheridan, CO
Fellow Dead Heads! (Or not!)
Every Monday from 6:00-08:00 pm (05:45pm setup) an open Grateful Dead based jam will be hosted at 'DJ Guy' on Google! It is a quality jam venue with a stage, equipment (keyboard included), and lots of space
I had my life changed and started playing the guitar because of the Dead, and I'd love to help establish a kind, jamming community!
***JAM BASICS***
-Quality backline provided including drum set, amps, mics etc
-All skill levels are welcome. The songs selected have very basic chords/ structures, materials are provided, and should be learned easily. If you are holding up the jam/ are unprepared, you will be asked to prepare the songs before you return
Go to 'rukind.com' for all the information you need-While there is a fee of $20 for these jams simply to help pay the lease (beats waiting for short time slots!!), the first timers get to try it for free to get a feel to see if you'd like to come back, and other arrangements/compromises can be made such as donations if needed; just reach out!
-You must sign up on Meetup & announce your instrument (5 guitar max)
