MURFREESBORO,Tenn.,--
Winners Bar & Grill in Nashville’s Midtown area has made
Monday nights a time for new artists, singer-songwriters, and music industry
new hopefuls to show off their talents with the "Whiskey Jam Show".
Winners,
located next to Losers at 1930 Division St., has become the spot to hang out
every Monday starting at 8 p.m.
Singer-songwriter Josh Hoge and artist Ward Guenther are the hosts and
creators of the "Whiskey Jam" concept.
“We just wanted a
place to jam out with friends, let artists pop in on a whim," said Hoge.
"You know the saying in Nashville: ‘you never know who is going to show
up’.”
The "Whiskey
Jam" is an open mic night where an artist or songwriter gets up and
performs three or four songs. The unique
aspect about "Whiskey Jam" is who shows up in the audience or jumps
on stage. On Nov. 27, James Otto and Ben Rector took the stage. Artists such as Kip Moore, Chris Young, John
Mayer, and the Fray have all played at "Whiskey Jam". The long list of artists grows every Monday
night.
“We are going to
keep having 'Whiskey Jam' till people stop coming,” said Guenther.
Recently,
"Whiskey Jam" has packed up and staged a "Jam" in Chicago
at Joe's Bar. Each Monday brings in more
awareness of this event, which is why many songwriters and artists believe
Winners is the place to be, whether you are looking for a fun time to jam out
with friends or favorite artist.
The "Jam"
provides a unique opportunity for young college industry hopefuls to share
their music and introduce themselves to important people they otherwise may
have never had the opportunity to meet.
The "Whiskey Jam" provides a great vibe for music-loving people
to hang out.
