The Jam Bray: Creative Performance & Community

Join us at the Signal Arts Centre for an Open Mic Night exploring where we’ve come from—and where we’re going! 🌍💫

### About this event

The Jam is more than just a standard open mic; it’s a vibrant community of local creatives! 🍓 Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a first-time listener, our nights are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and full of high-energy collaboration. 🙌✨
For our April session, we are leaning into the theme: "Roots and Routes." 🌳🛣️ We invite you to interpret this however you like:

• Roots: Your hometown, your heritage, your family, or the things that keep you grounded. 🏡🧱
• Routes: The journeys you’ve taken, the roads ahead, or a major life detour! 🧳🚀

🌟 The Golden Rule: As always, the theme is purely for inspiration. There is zero pressure to stick to it! This is an Open Mic in the truest sense—we want to hear whatever you’ve been working on, regardless of the subject. 🎶📖
