Sardis Senior's Activity Centre
Electric Blues Jam Session
Saturday, Sept 27, 7:00pm $2.00
Electric Blues Night - Break out your red kicks for a special jam session that will allow guitar players to use an electric guitar or acoustic electric and small amp to play Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Blues Rock or Jazz Blues standards.
Electric Blues, what's that?? It's any form of blues or roots music but with the sweet soulful sound of amplified guitar. Eric Clapton, Cab Calloway, Etta James, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lighnin' Hopkins, Ike Turner. If you loved the music of the Blues Brothers, you'll love this.
Electric Guitars? Are you crazy? Well, yes, maybe a little but we still have a few restrictions, amps are limited to 5 watts if tube or 15 watts if transister/solid state. If you don't know or don't own a small amp, bring what you have and we'll use our decibel meter to set your volume level to a safe 85db. The jam is also open to Electric Bass, Electric Organ/Piano and Electronic Drums (using our house kit)
Cost: Our usual low $2 activity fee. Spectators welcome!
Elwood: It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it
If you loved the music of the Blues Brothers, you'll love this.
Mahjong Lessons: Our Mahjong activity takes place every Thursday at 1pm.
Interested in learning how to play? We offer lessons for no extra charge. It's a fun and social way to spend Thursday afternoons.
Join us in a game or two.
