Bands play after the acoustic acts have finished. All bands are encouraged to sign up in advance by contacting Brian Symmes. (email Brian at BluesSlide@aol.com , or call 703-593-5206) A maximum of 3 bands per week may sign up, and no band can sign up for more than one week at a time.

Open Jam begins after the bands have finished. All "Open Jam" artists should be at Jimmy's by 10:00 pm to sign up. Everyone is invited for the Open Jam sessions, including artists that have already played earlier the same evenings!

Jimmy's Tavern provides all sound equipment and drums. Additional amps, pedals and other equipment may be used; sound technician Brian Symmes is always on hand to assist!

Length of performance times are decided each Wednesday based on the amount of acts that sign up! On full nights, acoustic acts receive 15 minutes each, and bands receive 30 minutes each.
