Smalltown Jam Night

Join us for Jam Night, a new monthly gathering for musicians, singers, and music lovers of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just getting started, this is a space to play, collaborate, and connect—no pressure, just good vibes.

We’ll have a piano, guitars, drums, percussion, and mics ready to go. Bring your own instrument if you’d like, or just bring yourself and jump in.

Come make music, meet fellow creatives, and be part of something spontaneous and joyful.

All are welcome. No RSVP needed. Just show up and jam.

To find the Clinic, follow the painted records from Pampas Cafe.
