East Bay Jam Sessions

[Raja Singh]

Hey Blues Players -

You'll notice that there's a new tab on East Bay Blues .Net - 'Jams'. I've compiled a list of the Red House blues jams and a few others that I knew about in the East Bay. I'd love for this list to be all inclusive. What other jams should be added?

The Pioneer Art Gallery on Hartz Ave downtown Danville has a early hour jam every Thursday. I go there before I attend the blues jam at the RH. They are a fun group. PA & Drums are there. Guitarist usually bring a small amp and their ax. Music varies from Blues to rock.

I was going to post Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland to include on the list of jam places - But they've closed once again! Darn!

Hi Raja,
Don Yonder here! I just wanted to let everyone know about a couple of East Bay Jams. The first one is in Hayward at The Bistro on B St. & Main. The Blues jam is every second and fourth Sunday from 4 until 7. The second Blues jam is a new one that's just getting started. It's at Tiki Tom's in Oakland. The address is 300 29th Ave. It will be hosted by Tumbleweed's Medicine Show. The date for the first jam is Jan. 25th. There is another Blues jam in Oakland at Smoky Blues BBQ on Telegraph Ave. I don't have the address at hand but will find it and add it. Also, though not a Blues jam per se, a jam that is certainly Blues friendly is held at Babe's Place in Livermore every other Wednesday. Happy New Year to all the jammers! See ya soon!

Smoky Blues BBQ is at 3415 Telegraph and 34 in Oakland...I understand as Ruben J mentioned, that it starts at 5PM every Sunday. Haven't been there; but I might give it a try this Sunday.

The best jam I have attended / played at is the Wednesday night series at the Little Fox in Redwood City. Always a great host band, good sitters-in, great crowd and lots of dancing. Excellent venue as well.
I used to play in the house band at Eli's in Oakland every Sunday for their blues jam, but do not know if it is still active.

Perhaps we can get the jams listed here added to the "Jams" tab...

Is there a jam anymore at Larry Blake's? What about SF and Marin?
