Musicians of any level are welcome to join in – just bring your instrument. Drums, amps and mics are supplied.
Check out our Jam Rules here.
SHBC has charted some blues standards as a reference (check out our Songbook here). Jammers might find it helpful to be familiar with some of these songs in case they come up. The Jam isn't moderated - you can play anything as long as it's blues (or a close relation).

Rambal is a powerhouse six-piece band delivering an electrifying blend of soul, blues, and funk. Finalists at the 2024 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA - the band has been making waves across the East Coast with their fiery, soul-drenched performances.
Backed by Charlie Rolfe on Hammond Organ, Hayley Stone on backing vocals, Jordan Pereira on drums, and Sam Watts on bass; Rambal brings groove, grit, and heart to every stage they hit. Their live sets are a celebration of new material, crowd-favourites from their acclaimed album Hold Your Fire, and their unique take on soul and blues classics.
Joining Rambal for this show will be singer and songwriter Iseula. From an early age listening to her mother's vinyl collection to traveling and living overseas, she has developed her own sound which leans towards a Soul, Neo soul, alternative RnB vibe, with powerful rich vocals that can elevate the listener into both the dark and light.
