Formed in 2022, JAMN (pronounced like “damn”) is a Seattle-based pop-funk band made up of professional gigging musicians, music educators, and guys who generally like to show off their chops at local open jam sessions. With humble beginnings at a local “battle of the bands” and with each member having been a featured act at Mo’Jam Mondays (Seattle’s largest weekly open jam), this group of friends quickly grew notorious within the Seattle music scene for performing wacky stage antics while keeping the music deadly serious. With a wide range of influences, their sound blends lighthearted and danceable pop songwriting with tight and complex fusion instrumentation to create an upbeat vibe with a surprising amount of depth. It’s tough to pin down a genre when combining the sounds of soul, funk, R&B, and jazz-fusion with lyrics about “sinking mega-yachts” and “feeling like macaroni”, but that unabashed authenticity is exactly what gives JAMN its charm.
