Player’s Jam is an immersive music festival and conference

bridging the gap between fans and musicians through the power of live improvisation. In today’s digital age, genuine human connection has become increasingly rare. While technology connects us virtually, the magic of live improvised music remains one of the few experiences that can’t be replicated through screens.

Our Story:

For three years, Atlanta’s own Mic Mell and Jen Hodges have been hosting monthly jam sessions in their nonprofit recording studio.  These jams have cultivated an intense sense of community and shared happiness by bringing musicians together in a safe, inclusive space to explore art.  The jams were so successful, the pair had a vision of curating this experience to a much larger group with the goals of developing musical skills, fostering connection, and elevating the economy through the arts.  They decided to bring their idea to life by partnering with 25 venues in 5 neighborhoods around Atlanta.
