The Sunday Jam

Every Sunday afternoon Wild Bill's hosts a blues jam session where visiting musicians can join the house band led by Don Valentine and The Juke Joint AllStars. Unlike the late-night shows the Sunday jam runs in the early evening making it accessible for families and early birds. Musicians bring instruments and join in - guitars drums vocals even tambourine players are welcomed on stage.

The venue operates on a BYOB liquor policy (beer sold on-site) with mixers and ice available. Cover charges apply for evening shows but the Sunday jam maintains an accessible community-focused vibe.
