The Orange County Blues Players Meetup Group

[Mark Wein]

If you play blues in Orange county and want to get out and jam a little bit this might be the thing for you! They have 2-3 open jams a month at places like Westside Bar and Grill and Boscoes....here is the description from the site:

If you are into playing the BLUES and you live in the OC/Inland Empire area, then this is the place to be!

This group is all about getting musicians and music fans together in a non-rehearsed, individual (no bands) open forum, for friendship, camaraderie, and playing the BLUES. Our “MeetUp” is now three times a month. The response has been so incredible that we have expanded to venues in Lake Forest, Upland and Costa Mesa, with more locations and events to come!

We are a mixture of professional, hobby, and novice musicians. Some are looking for a break from organized bands and gigs, and some just want to jam with new songs and new faces. These jams are an ideal way to improvise, and to get an opportunity to play on stage. Our jams are not "pro" jams. We encourage those who are just developing (or redeveloping) their skills, to come out, join up, and play along!

All forms of BLUES are welcome here, the key word being BLUES (not rock, not jazz). Feel free to bring along your own BLUES song list to work from and share with the others on stage.

Welcome Aboard!!!
