About Me

Now YOU can play on that stage without a presskit, band, booking agent or anything else. Just walk in and walk on stage. Come add to the music. This is the place to mix, mingle, meet players and fans and get a little jam in. It's a good time for all. There is a sign up sheet when doors open at 7pm. All who sign up will play. ANYONE MAY JOIN, OR LEAVE THE STAGE AT ANY TIME. Anything from chord progressions to covers to original songs. This is first time beautiful music created on stage. You can experience it, or be a part of it. Each show is recorded and CD's are available by request the following jam. We have 31 weeks worth of shows already available with an average of 12 tracks per CD. The shows are being recorded/mixed/masterd by Jamie Roop at Friendly Records. www.myspace.com/friendlyrecordsatlanta. From the first 31 weeks, we have over 90 hours of original music!! Do not show up if you have an ego, or expect the stage to yourself. This is NOT an open mic, this is strangers all playing together. It's a community being built, so come and experience it for yourself. All welcome. Any manner of music fans, singers, musicians, percussionists and more welcome...If you want to bang on a box of smokes, come on by. Rules: 1. no drum kits 2. no amps/cabinets We look forward to seeing you all there!! if you'd like more info, email [email protected] or join up at www.myspace.com/aaoj.
