Players can bring their guitars, basses, horns, sticks, keyboards, washboards, etc, and singers and songwriters bring themselves, their words, and their voices. The house band will 'back' individual jammers, and allow for groups of jammers to get up and play. Admission is free. Donations welcome.

ArtRocks events are open to friends and family members of jammers, as well as the public. No need to play or perform; listening is an art too!
