Creators Jam Live! Celebrating DC’s independent artist community.

Creators Jam Live is a monthly live music experience celebrating DC’s independent artist community.

In collaboration with Eaton DC

Live music, live art, and a live songwriting contest where you decide the winner.

Watch a live jam session heat up, then catch three songwriters go head-to-head as they turn a mystery track into a finished song — live, unrehearsed, on the clock. When it’s time to crown a winner, you decide — scan the QR code and vote right from your seat. The winner walks away with a 90-minute studio session to record their lyrics on the track they wrote them to. Add live visual art happening in real time, and it’s non-stop creativity from the moment you walk in.

Doors at 1:30 PM. First 40 drink orders from Booze Bruvas score a free Rocklands BBQ bite — while supplies last.

Tickets: $10 in advance, $15 at the door (QR code payment available on-site). All ages welcome.

Sponsors: Rocklands BBQ · Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center · Booze Bruvas

Live Creation: Khadija Jahmila and August Lee | Live Sound: Stan Kelz, Atar Global

This is not a passive listening experience. Come ready to be part of it.

For the Artists

The Jam Session and the songwriting contest test the same muscle: the ability to write on the spot, on the fly, because you’ve done the reps. Creators Jam gives you that practice — real conditions, real pressure, real room. Sharpen that skill here, and it shows up in every song you release after. “Don’t just scat!”
