In cooperation with Sam's Burger Joint, SABS is looking to schedule our Wednesday Night Blues Jam for the first and third Wednesday of every month. This will give our Jam a permanent spot on the calendar. Of course some of these dates may be moved to allow for a Blues Show or other event, but this new schedule will help to make our jams even better!  With the consistent turnout and support by both our Membership and our Member Bands, this has turned out to be a great Midweek Blues Break!! And we are looking forward to continue getting our Member Bands on stage and performing along with our Guest Jammers for our Members and Friends.

Host Bands and Jammers:
Please look at the Live Jams menu button for Jam Rules  

   
Enjoy and Support
the Member Bands and the Member Venues
of your San Antonio Blues Society ...
Keep the Blues Alive in San Antonio!
