NYC Find a Jam and Open Mic Registry

Random Strangers Jam is all about bringing musicians together - whether it is through our events, or other sessions around the city. Our offerings are unique so we know there's nothing to lose by uplifting other organizers. We'll do our best to update this monthly, but still strongly recommend you call venues before showing up just in case events have been changed or cancelled.
