START YOUR OWN RANDOM STRANGERS JAM SESSION
Random Strangers Jam LLC was created with the idea of making improvised funk rock jam sessions easy to find and accessible to all musicians who are looking for a creative community.
Our trademark registration with the USPTO is expected in December 2024 now that the period of opposition has closed, which means we can now safely expand to additional boroughs in NYC, as well as to entirely new cities and countries!

​If we determine your circumstances represent a good fit and you decide to become a quarterly or annual member, Random Strangers Jam LLC will provide you with:
​
-
a customized RSJ branding tool-kit so you can hit the ground running and attract jammers,
-
a sub-page on the RSJ website so you have an instant landing page to organize musicians and jammers,
-
support pitching venues and negotiating bookings so you book sessions quicker with RSJ's reputation backing you,
-
support setting up all ticketing and social media channels so you can sell tickets and reach your audience with ease,
-
and more!
​
Membership rates are negotiated at the time of agreement but are generally around $300 quarterly / $1000 annually (plus taxes and fees) for a mid-size city location. Note: we do limit the number of jams in any geographic area to avoid saturating a given market with our sessions and this is decided on a case by case analysis. If a jam exists in your area already, we can help connect you with the organizers so you can get involved in some capacity.
