LAMN Jams – now in Los Angeles and New York!

With a focus on artist development, our popular LAMN Jams - a recurring live music event - take place in various locations in Los Angeles, CA and as of March 2008, in New York too (“Manhattan LAMN Jams”). LAMN Jams showcase original music performed by talented artists in a live setting with instant feedback from a panel of industry experts, who give artists constructive feedback in the areas of music, lyrics and performance. Using LAMN Jams as a launch pad many artists have gone on to greater success, including 2006 LAMN Jam champion Tim Fagan who was invited to tour with the GooGoo Dolls and won the John Mayer Songwriting Contest. In 2007, LAMN Jams headed to the libraries in Los Angeles. Increasing youth attendance by over 400% at the N. Hollywood Regional Library alone, the popular “LAMN Gets Loud in the Library” series is now spreading to more locations in the Los Angeles area. We constantly seek new talent, email Winnie Jow for Los Angeles dates or Susan Heagney for New York dates (winnie @ lamn . com or susan @ lamn . com), or check available LAMN Jam dates by clicking here.
