The National Blues Museum’s Thursday Night Blues Jam is every Thursday from 7-9 PM (doors open at 6:30), performers and non-performers alike are welcome to join in our celebration of the improvisatory art of blues music. Admission to the jam is free for performers and members of the National Blues Museum, with a $5 ticket cost for non-performers. Our jam session comes with the excitement of a house band led by trumpeter and composer Kasimu Taylor and featuring Eugene Johnson, Michael Battle, Matt Lawder, and Lew Winer.

The Thursday Night Blues Jam is an inclusive space where musicians of all skill levels and all ages can gain experience on the bandstand. Bring your instrument or voice to learn from and network with fellow musicians! If you’re looking to refresh your chops or are brand new to blues (seriously, newcomers, this is the jam session in town for you), come to the National Blues Museum’s Thursday Night Blues Jam!
