Run a Bay Area Jam? Get It Listed.

Glory Jams is a free directory of jam sessions around the Bay Area. It doesn't run or host any jams. It helps musicians find yours. Here's how to get your jam listed and keep the listing right.

Get Your Jam Listed

Listing is free. Send it in through the submit form with the basics:

Where: the venue name and address.
When: the night and start time, and whether it's weekly or a one-off.
What: the style (jazz, blues, funk, open) and how sign-up works.
Cost: free, cover charge, or drink minimum.

You Host It?

Tick "I want to host this jam" on the form so we know to follow up with you. Every submission is checked by hand before it goes live.

Already Listed? Claim It

If your jam is already in the directory, claim it so it's tied to you:

Find it: open your jam from the directory.
Sign in: make a free account with your email. You get a sign-in link, no password.
Claim it: on your jam's page, press "Claim this jam" and tell us how you're involved: host, co-host, or venue contact.
After approval: the jam shows up under "Your hosted jams" in your account, and you can check players in from the listing on the night.

Keep It Current

Musicians use this list to decide where to go tonight. A wrong night or a jam that ended sends people to an empty room. Tell us when anything changes:

New night, time, or venue: we update the listing.
Taking a break or ending: we pause it or take it down.
How to tell us: email simonoto@gmail.com with the jam name and what changed.
