Sunday Blues Jams

Lowcountry Blues Connection hosts blues jam sessions at Pub 61 on the first third and fourth Sundays of each month from 5-9pm. These sessions bring together accomplished local musicians and welcome sit-in players of all skill levels. The jam format allows musicians to collaborate spontaneously and audiences to experience authentic blues music.

Lowcountry Blues Connection

Lowcountry Blues Connection is the organizing body behind the Charleston area blues community. Members perform regularly around town at various venues including Smokey's Place Brickyard Main Street Steel Horse and more. The organization keeps the blues tradition alive in Charleston and maintains an active community of blues players.

Music Style

The jam sessions feature authentic blues in all its forms. The rotating cast of musicians ensures variety from week to week - audiences never know exactly which players will show up making each session unique. The focus is on blues but the accomplished musicians can adapt to different styles and requests.

Venue Atmosphere

Pub 61 provides a casual neighborhood setting for the jams. The venue functions as a true gathering place rather than a formal concert hall. The free admission policy with tip-based support for performers keeps the focus on the music and community rather than commercialism.
