A weekly blues-club open mic and jam session in a Williamsburg bar dedicated to the genre. Performers and listening fans gather for an evening built around blues standards and improvisation.
Fred's Dog House
Fred's Dog House bills itself as a blues club, and its weekly Tuesday night proves it — a recurring open mic and jam session built around the genre rather than a general variety night. The Grand Street bar has kept the slot running as a consistent weekly fixture.
The Open Mic and Jam
Hosted by Karl Schwarz, the Tuesday session starts at 8:30 PM and runs into the night, mixing open mic sign-ups with looser blues jamming among the musicians in the room. It draws a mix of regular local players and newcomers looking to sit in.
Other Programming
Fred's Dog House runs a broader live-music calendar beyond Tuesdays, keeping its focus on blues and roots acts throughout the week.
Good to Know
Fred's is located at 354 Grand Street in Williamsburg. Call ahead to confirm the night is running as scheduled.
