Austin - Blues (or other) Jams

[kesslari]

Austin bass brothers and sisters!
I'll be in Austin June 18 (Mon) through 20.
Last year when I went there were some good blues jams (Beerland, Dozen, Original Po' Boys).
Those seem to have stopped.
Are there any venues that have jams on Mon, Tues, or Wed night?
I'll bring a bass, would love to play.

I'm not into the blues jam scene here, but The Electric Church has a Wed night jam most weeks. Ostensibly, it is a "psych rock" jam, but 75% of the time it is just 12-bar jams with lots of reverb and delay. They are very encouraging of all skill levels, so the quality of players can vary greatly.

Only other one I know is Skylark, which hosts a Thurs night jam, but that doesn't help you.

Hit Larry Up Kess I think a 5SB and Kess jammy jam would be outstanding

Monday Night - Blues jam at Dozen St. Great house band. I had a blast.
Tues - I know of two. One at Giddy Ups, one at the Original Po' Boy and Gumbo House. I will hit up one of them tonight. Good times!

I’d forgotten about the jam at Anderson Mill Pub. I’ve never been to it but for a place way out in the ‘burbs they can book some pretty good bands. They can also get a surprisingly wide variety of genres there, too.

@kesslari of I wasn’t going to be at the Slayer show Wednesday night I’d say we should hit up the Anderson Mill Pub and do some trippy bass duo improv. Next time, maybe?

I'll be at the Broken Shadows show Wed. The Bad Plus' rhythm section is backing Tim Berne and Chris Speed doing songs by Ornette Coleman, Dewey Redman and Julius Hemphill.

@Frank Tuesday I’m down to hit up Anderson Mill Pub for a bass duo romp anytime (except this Wednesday).

Ha! No worries. It was funny as I’m watching another thread about strobe tuners. So I grabbed my phone when I woke up this morning and that’s the first thing I saw. I was all, wait what...?
