Acoustic Jam Night

•

Acoustic Jam Night

Have a sing on stage in a relaxed environment, accompanied by our Jam Night Host (one of our fantastic IMA Mentors) who will play acoustic guitar and possibly sing backing vocals for you. Your audience and cheer squad will be other clients of IMA who wish to perform and any friends and family who wish to support.

Where

IMA Ashgrove - Shop 16, Ashgrove Central, 219-223 Waterworks Road, Ashgrove. There’s free off-street parking accessible from Harry Street.

When

At 6pm on the first Friday of every month. We will run until we’ve gotten through all the performers.

How

  1. Ask your mentor! Let them know you are interested in participating and they will help you prepare one or two songs from our acoustic jam night song list.
  2. Purchase a performers ticket.
  3. Rock up!

You can find the song list and purchase tickets all from our IMA Acoustic Jam Night page on our website.

Things to Know

  • Acoustic Jam Night is only for current or past clients of Independent Music Academy.
  • You are welcome to accompany yourself if you are able.
  • You’ll need to be able to sing along with a recording of the song from start to finish. You can have a lyric sheet with you on stage.
  • Tickets for performers close on the Wednesday, two days before the Jam Night, as this gives our mentors a chance to rehearse your song.
  • You don’t have to perform to attend.

If you’re not quite sure if you’re ready yet, please come along as an audience member and get a feel for how the night works.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
