“We don’t meet if we don’t eat!”
The best jam sessions I’ve ever been part of always had great food! Whenever I host a jam, I make sure there’s something good to eat — there’s no sense trying to play on an empty stomach.
Sharing a meal helps everyone transition out of the hectic world we’re coming from and into the focused, collaborative energy of making music together.
I’ll never forget being in a band with a member from Chile who cooked dinner for us all before rehearsal. We’d sit down, eat, share stories, and then play for a couple of hours.
Musicians need creative fuel, and what better way to fill up than with a good meal before playing?
Bon appétit !
