Believe in the Blues til the day
We began as Cindy & The Rockets and played private parties and just jammed around the house. Then in Oct. of 2004 I was approaced by a local club owner Rudy`s Jazz & Blues club to help them organize a jam session. We decided that wednesday which was the slowest day of the week at the club would be a good night. On the first wed. of Nov. 2004 we open the doors for the very first jam session. The first few weeks were brutal with next to no jammers. We hung in there and after a month the word got out and the jammers started showing up. We did things a little diffrent. We let folks come in with their bands or parts of their bands and filled the stage with the rest of our band. With no sign-up sheet we mixed folks together trying to provide good entertainment and please the jammers. It`s been over a year now, the jam session is very successful with folks comming from all over the central valley to jam. We are now recording the jams live to further promote live music in the valley. The jams have become so popular we have expanded it to 2 nights, Blues on Wen. and Jazz on Thurs. So if your in the merced area stop by Rudy`s and check us out, or stop by our website rudysjazznblues.com and check out the up comming shows or archives of past shows just to get a feel of what we are doing to promote live music in the valley. Thanks for stopping by, Believe in the Blues til the day i die! Mike
