LOJO: Log Off, Jam On
First and third Friday of the month, scheduled through December 15, 2023
5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Free
It’s 5 p.m. on Friday, which means you can officially log off for the next two days! Ease into your weekend with us at Boxyard RTP for our open jam session, LOJO (Log Off, Jam On). Led by Stephen Munoz, we welcome musicians from the Triangle area to bring their instruments and jam together up on stage.
About the Jam Session Leader:
You can hear soul, folk and the blues running deep in Steve’s core musical foundation–his lyrical style and finger picked guitar; and the sweat-stained stage you’ll find during any of his performances shows his appreciation of the “never-hold-back” work ethic of heroes Bill Withers and Otis Redding.
Want to join? Just show up and let Stephen (our host) know, or you can shoot us an email at hello@boxyardrtp.com to let us know you’re coming. All levels, talents, and instruments (that you can transport) are welcome!
Walk-up musicians are welcome, and sign-ups are not required to attend the event.
