A number of clubs, where I did most of my playing, had either a Saturday/Sunday jam or an weekday, evening thing. The host band kept a list of those that wanted to get up and tried to balance out the evening.

So, if you know of any clubs that have organized, open jam sessions, please let me know.I'll post them here and maybe we can get more face to face networking going. Be sure to include any details such as: are drums provided, amps, keys, etc.

Now, I'm talking about  a club atmosphere with an audience, host band, you know the drill, not basement or garage situations, per say, that's up to individuals. If there isn't one in your area, maybe you could approach a club and get one going. Club owners tended to love them b/c every musician that shows up usually brings a thirsty friend or two. Give it a shot and drop me a note.
Thanks! Larry.

Jam Sites!  Please drop me a note if you know of any other open jams.

New!  Bassist Looking:

My name is Buddy Lewis and I am a pro country music bassist and vocalist.  I  am looking to get with a pro country music band.
 
I am 50 years old and have played some large stages, with some major artists  and musicians.    I just moved here from the Houston area.
 I have played primarily country swing and traditional country music, but also play country-rock  (mostly Eagles style). I sing primarily lead vocals, but also sing back-up. I have four albums out now (with airplay) and am working on a fifth.
 
I have equipment and experience in live stage sound, sound reinforcement,  digital recording and stage lighting.  I also have experience (and equipment) in/for digital recording and audio mastering. 
 
Visit my website at buddylewismusic.com to see photos and hear examples of my  work. My number is 870-436-3525 .  My email is _Lewkel@aol.com.

 I live just south of Branson, Missouri.  I am looking to get with some serious musicians. I have pro gear suitable for any size gig. I am willing to do audition.  I don’t smoke, use recreational drugs, or  alcohol, but I am not opposed to playing bars.   I can also travel if necessary.
Buddy Lewis
