WAMJAM Sessions puts live music on the street — in front of real people, in a real precinct. Weird, zany, crazy, fun — we don't care what you look like, we care what you sound like. And we care that you mean it.

You get 60 minutes of stage time and the 300 West Laneway as your backdrop. Power is provided by MusicWorks next door. Bring your own instruments — or grab something from MusicWorks while you're at it.
