Location: Mid-City Community Music (in the small sanctuary)
4011 Ohio St. San Diego, CA 92104Hosts: Bonnie Nicholls and George Sanger
With our chairs placed in a circle, we’ll perform in the round, making it a cozy, safe place to share your musical creations. Participants are invited to play:
- Original songs
- Covers that you’ve made into your own
Please note: This event was previously a jam. Starting in April we are transitioning to a listening room format, in which every participant plays a song without accompaniment from others.
Please keep your songs to under 5 minutes so everyone has a chance to play twice.
Also, this song circle is acoustic except for a digital piano (so if you play piano, it’s already provided). Charts are not provided or projected.
FREE. Suggested donation: $10.Mid-City Community Music is our nearest-and-dearest Community Partner. Subscribe to their mailing list keep updated about our jam news, workshops, classes and more
