Meet the musicians

The Lifeblood of the Jam

The players, hosts, sound hands, stage hands, and teachers who make Thursday nights happen.

More than the players on stage

Every Thursday night, Shields & Kristina’s Country Jam Night is carried by musicians who show up, plug in, tune up, and make the room come alive.

They share their craft, help orchestrate the night, run sound, load in, tear down, keep the show moving, and make room for the next singer, picker, drummer, and young musician brave enough to step up.

Their craft is the heartbeat of the jam. Their generosity is what makes it feel like a community.
