Hosted by Brett and “Dangerous” Dave, this open blues jam is known as Tallahassee’s longest running, bringing musicians together every week for more than nine years at The Getaway Grille and Bar. Players of all levels can sit in to sharpen their skills or share what they know with others in a relaxed, community-minded setting. Backline is provided, so there is no need to bring an amplifier. The jam welcomes both performers and listeners, with non-players invited to enjoy the music and cheer on the artists.

Sponsored by Lee Hinkle, this event spotlights Peyroux, who began as a street performer and, three decades later, has crafted nine albums and toured the world to sold out audiences. Her evocative interpretation of Serge Gainsbourg’s La Javanaise appears in the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water, and her many honors include the BBC International Artist of the Year. Ever curious and fearless in crossing genres, she continues to push her artistry forward with steady resolve and a belief in music’s power to calm even the fiercest spirit. Though she often chalks her path up to luck, fans and the music community recognize the remarkable skill and unwavering dedication behind it.
