Join the Movement
Open Jam is a free form instrumental/vocal jam session with signups by instrument. It is a casual environment to practice your skills and meet new people. If you don’t play an instrument – simply sit back and enjoy the show!
BHAMS ensures that our jams remain inclusive and supportive. Whether you are looking for your first band or are a seasoned pro, your presence helps us build a stronger Bellingham music scene.
