“Spread the Jam” is a jam session meant to welcome every musician with open arms—no matter what.

The mission is to create a more equitable and free, non-hierarchical and non-judgmental space for everyone. By creating a space that focuses on honest and authentic communication, community building, and liberation, we can transform the current scene into a more productive, positive and engaging community. The event will have a community discussion, as well as an opportunity to workshop any original pieces!
