1st Monday - Jam-a-Theme - at Queen Bee's

🎵 Sep 1, 2025 1st Mon jam is THE BEATLES for the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of their ONLY SAN DIEGO APPEARANCE EVER at Balboa Stadium 8/28/1965, where tickets for the 30 min show were $5.50 and they only sold 63% of the 27,000 available seats (still better than the 200 seats sold by The Rolling Stones the year before, haha.) We’ll play six of their twelve songs from that show (they weren’t all gems) and a bunch of other Beatles hits. (If you have the SongbookPro app, message Karen to get the Setlist emailed.) (Above photo is from the S.D.Tribune of The Beatles’ press conference before their only S.D. performance, Aug 28, 1965.)

🎶 The 2nd half, as always will be musicians' choice, from a large SongBookPro collection of songs from all decades, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's. There's something for everyone's taste. AND we LOVE it if you stretch your wings and join us at a mic to lead or help lead. It's FUN!

🎶 General Info about 1st Monday Jam Oasis: JAM-A-THEME is hosted by Karen Riley, whose extensive SongBookPro library (SBP) is sorted by themes. Every first Monday we’ll spend the first half jamming on on a fun theme. Then after the break we’ll open it up for participant requests. Music and lyrics will be projected. All jammers, no host band, ALL INSTRUMENTS and voices welcome. We LOVE when people come up to a mic and help lead a song, but it’s not required. Join us for some musical jamming joy! 🎵

RSVP ‘YES’ for the events to get updates, then watch the comments or here for news and to see what jam theme is coming each month.

​Suggested donation $10 to help pay rent and expenses; $5 or free if you can’t afford it.
