The John St. Jam is the most talked-about music venue in the Hudson Valley. On the 2nd (and 5th) Saturday of every month we present 8 of the area’s best musicians in an intimate, living-room setting. We do two 'rounds' of four players each with an intermission. The room is cozy, the people friendly, and the performances are always top-notch. Musical styles range from folk to blues, from rock to ragtime. And it's all only $5!

The "stage" is a big, comfortable rug in the middle of the room with four chairs arranged in a circle. The audience is seated around the outside and is never more than a few feet from the musicians. This format provides the intimacy of a living room and allows the musicians to interact in ways that aren't possible in the traditional coffeehouse format.

Admission is $5 at the door only. Doors open at 6:45, music starts at 7:30 and each round runs about an hour. Lots of home-baked goodies and plenty of coffee, tea and bottled water are available.

The John St Jam is located in the Dutch Arms Chapel at 16 John St., Saugerties, near the Main St. Stewart's. This is not an open mic.
