Musicians Honoring Musicians

Welcome
Welcome to <strong>The JamHouse Forum</strong>.

Hi, I'm Tony Avery, founder of The JamHouse. The JamHouse is a free jam club whereby musicians and vocalists actually gather to jam and perform with one another in a friendly, easy going, non competitive, and fun atmosphere. The motto of The JamHouse is: Musicians Honoring Musicians. And it is within this spirit that we meet, play music, and socialize with one another.

The JamHouse Forum is an extension of The JamHouse and is used by The JamHouse members and guests to better know one another. The forum can also help in scheduling jams, rehearsals, gigs, parties, cookouts, and other events within our membership.

The JamHouse provides a place where member musicians and vocalists can come to enjoy socializing with one another and to jam, form bands, rehearse, collaborate, and to have a great time playing the music they love. The JamHouse opened on Dec. 8th, 2007 with 23 members in attendance and has been going strong ever since. While originally our jams were held on private property and open to a limited number of members per jam our member base has grown to the point where we now meet at local venues around Raleigh where our numbers can be better accommodated. Venues such as Fat Daddy's, Reds, Tailgaters, and most recently The Pickled Onion and Bone Daddy's Hideaway.

By joining this free forum and music community, you will be able to read and post topics, you'll be able to communicate privately with other members (PM), respond to polls, upload content, and access many other special features such as email, right from our forum. Registration is fast, simple, and absolutely free, so please, <a href="/profile.php?mode=register">join our music community today</a>!

JamHouse members receive notices and email invitations to jam. When you receive an invitation it is important that you RSVP your intentions to attend, or not, for any particular jam. Another musician can be invited in your place if you cannot be here. Space is limited, even at venues around town, and we wish not to "over invite" and become over crowded. Overcrowding results in less quility playing time for all.

As a forum member you are encouraged to submit a member bio, song list, and any other info that will help members to better know one another. Of course attending our jams is a fast and fun way to meet other members.

Thanks for visiting The JamHouse Forum. Please consider joining our jam club and register. You will then be ready to start attending our jams and other events. Please call on me if I can be of any assistance to you.

Our show at TPO on Saturday Nov. 14 was fantastic. See our photoshow link below.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to our show Saturday evening. In case you missed it we had two fantastic bands performing plus an all acoustic set by some of our "founding" JamHouse members and friends.

The evening start around 9 PM or so with our JamHouse friends Neal, Kenny, Jeff, and Jim playing an all acoustic set of some popular oldies. Some easy listening from some of the good ole' days. This was a lot of fun for us fans as well as for acoustic players who really had a ball.

We also head a great show from The Blenders. The Blenders, Mark, Ann, Mike, Joe, and Bob, played a mix of folk, easy listening soft rock, some wonderful blues, and topped off with a little high energy rock and roll. The Blenders style is all mixed up in a blend of covers and originals from many genres and presented to us in such a friendly and appealing way you'll think you're home in front of the fire with family. Well, we were. Our JamHouse family. A class act all the way.

Now before Mark and the others formed The Blenders, Mark and Joe played with a group called Twist Of Fate who played blues and classic rock. The band unfortunately broke up after losing their drummer a couple of years ago. In the band with Mark and Joe was another guitarist who shared lead and rhythm with Joe. Shelton not only added a fantastic tag team along with Joe he also added much to the vocals as he sang lead on some fantastic older covers that would bring back some great memories of our younger years. You may know Shelton from another band he plays with, Straight No Chaser. Another great local band.

Well guess what? Mark, Joe, and Shelton have now regrouped and have been joined by none other than Bob, from The Blenders. Bob, who for a short while in earlier days, had played drums with Twist Of Fate before TOF acquired a full time drummer. So now the boys are back together and are resurrecting Twist Of Fate as a full time band again. Congratulations guys. I've got a feeling you're gonna be busy though with two bands that's sure to be playing a lot.

Wow, what a show we enjoyed on Saturday evening. It was a busy night with plenty of great music, good food, beer, etc. and many of our JamHouse members, friends, and guests joining us.

Be sure to check out the photoshow made of many of the pics that were taken during the evening. Thanks to all the performers and our JamHouse members and guests for coming out in support of The JamHouse and Raleigh's music scene.
