About
Blu Jamm is a blues band for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Two acoustic guitars and a percussionist on djembe and cajon. That's the Blu Jamm sound, and it turns familiar songs into something a bit different. Six decades of material sits in the repertoire: Van Morrison, The Doors, J.J. Cale, Santana, Daddy Cool, Angus & Julia Stone, Johnny Cash, REM, Steely Dan, The Beatles, Clapton, Neil Young, B.B. King, Bob Marley, Paul Kelly, Dire Straits and the Stones, with a few originals scattered through. They read the audience and adjust, and they can push it up for dancing. Adelaide based. They bring everything or use the venue PA, and a trio with percussion still fits into a surprisingly small corner.
On the day
Two ways to run the sound, and Blu Jamm are happy either way. The full rig travels with them, or they will plug into whatever the venue already has if that is simpler on the night. Space is the part people worry about and rarely need to. A percussionist sitting on a cajon takes up less floor than a drum kit, so the whole trio slots into a corner that would defeat most three piece bands. Small rooms are genuinely fine.
