Redmond Arts Jam

TIME: 7:00 pm (Sign up: 6 pm)
LOCATION: Old Redmond School House Community Center 16600 NE 80th St., Redmond

Musicians and spoken word artists are invited to take the stage for the second Redmond Arts Jam. We'll combine an open mic for soloists followed by an open jam with a fabulous backup band featuring some of our finest local musicians.

Musicians bring own instrument, drummers bring sticks, vocalists bring a voice, everyone bring inspiration, audience bring ears. You must be at least 16 to take the stage, but there will be arts activities available for all ages, so bring the family and make some art! All material must be family-friendly.

Details
Musicians, singers and poets, and spoken word artists are all welcome to take part. We provide PA, mics, backline amps and drum kit.
