Quick note regarding AJC Blues Jam: they rotate hosts every week (see below). So, you're going to get a different personality each week.

If you are new and you feel comfortable doing so, introduce yourself to the host after he & the band are done warming the room up.

I can assure you this was not intentional; BJ's a good guy, he just knows who he knows.

1st Thursday: Tom Yates

2nd Thursday: Hatrack Gallagher

3rd Thursday: Herb Hirsch

4th Thursday: B.J. Magoon

5th Thursday: Bobby Gus

Unfortunately I have to agree with several of the comments here. I went two weeks in a row, put my name on the list, and wasn't called up. So I never went back. Haven't had this problem at any other blues jams. BJ played a lot of the time. Not cool paying $5 cover and then not getting to jam.

Although I live an hour away, this jam is the very best in the area, well worth the trip. Good room, great staff, good food. In 8 years I can only remember one night I didn't get called up to play. That was ok; just to hear the other players was a treat.

As host, BJ knows how to put the right people together, encourage new talent, and set the standard for other hosts to follow.

I also want to state that BJ has never played longer than 45 minutes out of the gate any night I've ever been there. He may jump back in if singers are short… same with the rest of his respective band members. I've been going for over 7 years now, checked out other jams in the area and can confidently say it is definetly one the best. Menu could use a revamp.

This is one blues jam I always wanted to go check out.
