If you are into playing the BLUES and you live in the OC/Inland Empire area, then this is the place to be!

This group is all about getting musicians and music fans together in a non-rehearsed, individual (no bands) open forum, for friendship, camaraderie, and playing the BLUES. Our “MeetUp” is now three times a month. The response has been so incredible that we have expanded to venues in Lake Forest, Upland and Costa Mesa, with more locations and events to come!

We are a mixture of professional, hobby, and novice musicians. Some are looking for a break from organized bands and gigs, and some just want to jam with new songs and new faces. These jams are an ideal way to improvise, and to get an opportunity to play on stage. Our jams are not "pro" jams. We encourage those who are just developing (or redeveloping) their skills, to come out, join up, and play along!

All forms of BLUES are welcome here, the key word being BLUES (not rock, not jazz). Feel free to bring along your own BLUES song list to work from and share with the others on stage.

Welcome Aboard!!!

What members are saying

 If you haven't given it a try the time is now. It is a great place to meet others and improve your musicianship at the same time. 

 The vibe is so energetic and positive. I feel like I'm in someone's very large garage, just relaxing and enjoying all of the music.

      “I've always loved the blues. I started learning blues harp about 2 years ago. I'm now starting to learn some amplification techniques, and I figure the next step is jamming with real people instead of jam track CDs.”

      “Opportunity to play with other musicians who love this genre. Meet other guys who like to jam. I absolutely love playing blues and classic rock. Like a lot of the pictures I'm seeing on this site, I'm 57, played since I was 13.”
