jam band

Jam is a type of music that involves all aspects and instruments of music being played for a continuing period of time. Each song is about 15 minutes, and these bands usually have the biggest and most-devoted fanbase. Unfortunately, many prople often use drugs at the concerts and ruin the fun for everyone.

Phish, String Cheese Incident, and Dave Matthews Band are all jam bands.

Jam band

N. If a blanket excuse, issued as a shrug, was a music genre. Very similar to someone presenting an unexceptional thing as being exceptional purely upon the merit that it has been presented.

Put a jam band in a garage in a suburb on a Sunday night at 10:01, someone is gonna call the cops because “c’mon guys, enough is enough, already.” But, if you post flyers, charge admission, and make the jam band loud enough—they magically stop being a noise ordinance violation in Vermont, and start being Bonnaroo.

“Dude, have you heard the latest CD of the local jam band?”

*shrug*
