Interested in making song charts for the bsteele Music App? ‘Fireside charts’ are being scheduled monthly, so send us an email at play@communityjams.org if you are interested. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our musician, Board member, and Technology Director Robert Steele, bsteele Music App is free and available on web browsers. Bookmark the app and jam!

We rely entirely on your donations to keep things running. Please consider a $15-$20 one-time donation or, better yet, recurring donations on PayPal or Patreon to help us cover the costs of serving you at our beautiful studio.

Can you help us with time and expertise? We are looking for support with grant-writing, promotion, and event organization. Drop us at note at play@communityjams.org

Our studio space is located at 211 SE Madison St inside the East Creative Collective, a centrally-located studio and gallery for artists.

Would you like to volunteer to help connect musicians through live music? We’re looking for a few folks that are interested in helping with marketing, website management, and social media. Email communityjamspdx@gmail.com to get involved!
