Improv Slam Music Jams in September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The free, fun music jams keep on rocking in September with guest hosts Kate Wing on Sept.14th, Tom Wadlow on the 21st, and the usual suspects Dana, Nick, and Lolly on the 28th. It's always a Jam Good Time!
The Improv Slam® Music Jams are on Thursdays 8pm-10pm, Off Market Gallery (first floor), 965 Mission, SF. Bring friends, hang out, sing, or just watch. Last week featured Dale Carlson on soprano saxophone and Jeff on guitar adding fun textures to David Norfleet's masterful keyboard accompaniment.



Next Improv Slam Singing Contest October 5th
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to a lot of great press and popular demand, we've extended our Live Show season and added a show on October 5th at the Off Market Theatre. The kind and generous Tom Wadlow has volunteered to help Dana produce the October show so she can continue to work on TV pre-production.
More details about the October show format and how to be a contestant in next week's newsletter.
