Connecting Musicians of All Backgrounds and Abilities Through Live Music Experiences

Community Jams supports live music where people learn together, play together and develop musical connections that enhance physical and mental health. We host five to six free studio jams and outreach programs every week that prioritize participation.

What We Do

Community Jams supports live music where people learn together and develop musical connections that enhance physical and mental health. We host free studio jams throughout the week, serving all musical abilities. Every month we host "live karaoke" jams to the public in partnership with our local arts co-op First Fridays event. We also offer outreach programs for assisted living/memory care facilities and the local houseless population. During the holidays we organize caroling events at assisted living facilities and Peacock Lane.

Community Jams is the music of our collective heart and soul. Service in this organization provides a spectacular, life-changing experience that blends passion for music with passion for serving people. We are volunteer-driven, and our team learns and grows together like a family that constantly discovers new ways to support, share and connect. I can't imagine a more playful and comfortable way to help others!
