2025-09-14 16:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave., Medford, MA, 02155, United States
The Jam Down By Riverside is a direct descendent of the now defunct Blues Jam at the Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint, which was a descendant of the Johnny D’s blues jam. The jam is for building community and building skills. We welcome people of all ages, abilities, styles and instruments to join in the jamming. We do not have a strict Blues Only jam rule, but probably 85% of the repertoire is blues or blues-derived music. Please come to play or listen.
The jams are on the Second Sundays of the month from 4 – 7 PM.
We’re putting out a special call to teachers and their students to join us and we’re specifically trying to facilitate connections between people with more experience and folks with less experience.
What to expect:
The Jam is first come – first served, meaning you get into the pool to play when you arrive and sign up. There will be 3-4 different groups per hour depending on attendance. More people = shorter sets and more sets, so more people are able to play. The host will put different bands together based on the abilities and instrumentation available from the attendees. Each group will have a bandleader (often the lead vocalist) who will call songs, solos, starts, breaks and endings.
This is a potluck event, so bring food to share or bring you own eats. We will have beverages for sale for your convenience.
Please Do bring your own instrument, cable, sticks, microphone, and small harp amps.
Please Do not bring your own guitar amp and unless you have talked to the host in advance.
Volunteers will provide the following backline for players: drumkit, bass rig, 2 guitar amps, 2 direct boxes, microphones, monitors, PA system. We are taking donations of various equipment for backline. Please inquire about a donation. In particular we are looking for a small drumset and <15w guitar amps or modeling pedals.
We will ask for donations to offset the cost of the event and to show support for our organization.

Professor Harp’s Classic Blues & Rock ‘n’ Roll (Potluck)
2025-09-20 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave., Medford, MA, 02155, United States
Although born and raised as Hugh Holmes of Boston, Mass., the emanations from his harmonica and vocals make it clear that Professor Harp has the blues of Texas and the whole wide Delta coursing through his veins.
The Professor was a rock ‘n’ roll drummer until ’69, when the Boston blues revival and a sterling performance he caught of blues harmonica great George Allen ‘Harmonica’ Smith, combined to lure him away from drums and into a full court press on the blues harp. “Undaunted!” he brags, by the vicissitudes of his life as blues man, front man, every kind of man, Professor Harp puts forth his commanding presence and exceptional talent, night after night.
Primarily playing a sparse, yet full-sounding brand of no-nonsense, no-frills Texas style blues, Professor Harp specializes in what he calls, ‘roots music’. “It’s whatever makes me feel good and moves me, so to speak.” Indeed it has evolved while continuing to move audiences for decades.
Under the influence of many diverse blues greats, Professor Harp has developed a robust playing style. He often utilizes the Leslie rotating-speaker sound system to give his harp a Hammond organ timbre, while he alternately and simultaneously employs the standard or traditional ‘electrified’ blues harp. The Professor tops this off by singing the blues with an infectious fervor, supported at his strictest insistence by only top-flight musicians on guitar, bass, and drums.
