An underground, homegrown funk rock night.
Bring your instrument and be a Stranger at this fully improvised psychedelic funk rock jam session. Led by Sky Demetri and his band, the event encourages musicians from the audience to join the rotation. Every 5-7 minutes, band members are swapped out, allowing the group to create new music on fresh keys and concepts. All jammers must sign in on the official sheet available in person 15 minutes before the event.
