Wish funk rock jam sessions on stage were longer? Have an original song you wish you could get a quick live demo of with a live band? We're making it all happen with our Random Strangers Jam Sunday Reserve Sessions!
Agenda:
2-hour slots with 90-mins playing time:
- 15-minute set up, introductions, sound check, level setting
- 45-minute improvised jam
- 45-minutes original songs
- 15 minute break down and file transfers
For original songs:
- 10 mins x 4 songs - no covers!
- 1 song per person
- You must share a rough demo minimum 48h before the session
- If >4 songs are shared, a poll will be held by email to make selections
- Each song limited to 10-minutes: enough for 1-2 live demo takes
- Unclaimed song time will be used for jamming
How it works:
In the days leading up to the jam, attendees can submit their own original song for the grou to demo during the original song segment.
You must bring a pair of WIRED headphones and your own 1/4" and/or XLR cables.
Audio is recorded directly into a Behringer UPHORIA UMC1820 and Logic Pro 11. Video is recorded using a minimum of an iPhone 13 Pro. Audio and video processed through OBS creating a synchronized file of the iPhone video and the raw Logic Pro audio.
A copy of the video and the original Logic Pro file (so you can do your own mix) will be shared on site if you bring a hard drive, otherwise it will be uploaded to a private google drive within 1 week. You have 1 week to download the files from the date they are uploaded before they are deleted.

· 1 other drummer for subbing out every other
· 2 guitarists
· 1 bassist

Note: Additional members of the Random Strangers Jam house band may occasionally be on site during sessions and will be limited to 1/3 of jams or songs if they overlap with reserved slots.
