Zen open jam is a collaborative community jam event welcoming creativity, improvisation, and going with the musical flow. Founded in 2021, we welcome all music lovers to come along on the journey with us to share in the good vibes of improvisational music. 

We welcome people to come to play or just to hang and watch. This jam is held now every 2nd Tuesday at Palmer's Bar from 8-11pm. We provide a drum kit, bass cab and the venue's PA system. Bring a guitar, horn, or other instrument to join in on the fun. Players are randomly assembled on the spot in ensemble, but requests to play with friends or bandmates are always welcome. The jams are either fully improvisational or feature cover songs or originals led by a bandleader. 

Hosted by Ruby Blu of Red Eye Ruby, Caley Factorial of Color Chord and Bryce Tuitt of Confuciusaurus, we also feature live painter Bethany Mae every month as well as a local featured artist for the evening. 

Come join us and share in the joy of communal improvisation.
