JamKazam News

Hi JamKazammers –

Read on for the latest software updates, blog posts, upcoming hosted online sessions, recordings/broadcasts, JamTracks catalog updates, and more.

 

Office Hours
We continue to offer two weekly office hours sessions for anyone who needs help.

  • JamKazam Session Office Hours (Every Tuesday 7-8pm US Central Time)
    If you have our app installed and your gear set up, you can join this JamKazam session as a safe space with a JamKazam support team member to experience and learn how to play in online sessions, or to ask questions about particular features or issues you’re having. To find this session, start the JamKazam app, click the Find Session tile, then click the Open Jams tile, and look for the session called “JamKazam Office Hours”, and click the Join icon on this session.
  • Zoom Office Hours (Every Wednesday 11am-12pm US Central Time)
    If you haven’t set up your gear yet and need help getting started, you can join this Zoom meeting room to ask a JamKazam support team member any questions you have. Don’t be shy, we’re here to help! To join the Zoom, click this link on any Wednesday at the time above.

 

Calendar of Live Concert Broadcasts  (Let Us Live Broadcast You!)
We are lining up our next live broadcasts now, but if you want to check out our recent live broadcasts, you can click here to watch the No Latency band (New York area), click here to watch Zed City (a Vancouver area trio) or click here to watch the ReSYNC band (musicians from Texas, Georgia, Vermont and Virginia).

If you have a band or informal group that rehearses and plays on JamKazam, we would love to live broadcast a performance by your group, and promote it both to the JamKazam community and more broadly across our social channels. We can handle the broadcast for you, so that you just show up and play like usual. Or you can broadcast yourselves, and we can simply promote it. You can be anywhere from awesome to very amateur – it’s all good! We’ve found people really love to see bands playing live like this. Send us an email at support@jamkazam.com, and we can chat with you about getting you ready to roll!

 

Calendar of Hosted Sessions
We have the following hosted session events planned for the next couple weeks. Click a link below for more information. If you want a session for a particular artist or genre you don’t see listed, drop us a note at support@jamkazam.com.

If you can’t access the event links below on Facebook, here’s how to find and join these sessions. Open the JamKazam app at the start date/time of the session you want to join. Click on Find Session on the app home page, then click on Open Jams.  You’ll see a list of currently active public/open sessions, and you should see the name of the event listed among our sessions – e.g. “Blues Session” or whichever one you’re interested in. Click the Join icon next to that session.

Note: We lost our host for our Bluegrass Sessions. If you like to play bluegrass and are up for hosting a bluegrass session every other week, please send us an email, and we’ll set you up as the new host! Also, if you’d like to host a session for a specific genre or artist or playlist, please email us at support@jamkazam.com, and we’ll promote it in this community email and on our social channels for you!

 

Past Session Recordings & Live Broadcasts
Following are some recording excerpts from hosted and private sessions, as well as JamKazam recordings and live broadcasts made by members of the community. Come to a session to join the fun!
