Guy Schwartz' Video Guide To
JAMS & OPEN MICS
In The Greater Metropolitan Houston, Texas Area!

The five performance-driven daily films are completed. Enjoy them here!
They contain extended performances by artists and amateurs who gave permission
when I caught them onstage when walking into the jams & open mics with my camera blaring.

Next, the project will be edited down to a single 30 minute film.
That film will be information-driven, featuring less of the individual artists' performances,
and more info, overview and listings of JAMS & OPEN MICS in the greater metropolitan Houston area!

We reccommend call before venturing out to a jam or open mic you've seen in these films.
This was a snapshot in time, and venues open & close. Some venue owners will decide
to change their Thursday Open Mic to a Tuesday jam.
Others will give up on live music
and try karaoke, mud wrestling or lingerie shows to bring in a drinking crowd.
The most successful jams never waiver - same thing, same night every week.
The venue owners put up with the high and low turnout cycles,
knowing that if they stay constant, the business will come back.
We salute those venue owners,
but still recommend that you call or check websites before using gasoline.
