# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FVJC Hosts Appreciation Night & 3rd Anniversary Celebration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Welcome to the Fox Valley Jammers Club's 3rd Annual Host Appreciation Jam and Anniversary Celebration. 

Together, we’ve helped bands form, collaborations spark, friendships grow, venues thrive, and confidence bloom. Over 2,800 musicians stronger, braver, and more willing to step on stage and share their art. Albums have been written. Ideas have taken shape. Community has happened. And none of it works without the heartbeat of it all: our open mic hosts.

On MARCH 29th, we’re uniting to celebrate and shine a well-deserved spotlight on the hosts of nearly 40 open mic locations across the Fox Valley—the folks who create the spaces where this magic happens. Without them, many of us would still be playing alone in basements or posting videos into the social-media void. Hosts turn music into connection, and connection into community.
So let’s celebrate what makes each of us unique—and what makes us better together.

? SUNDAY MARCH 29th at EvenFlow Music & Spirits (Geneva)
? Doors & performer sign-ups open at 3:00pm
? Music starts at 4:00pm
? We’ll keep the music rolling until ~9:00pm
? Full food menu & full bar available.

Everyone is encouraged to come ready to play—and to cheer others on.

? TWO STAGES:
• MAIN STAGE: ensembles & open jams (no solo or duo acts)
• SPEAKEASY STAGE: dedicated to solo and duo performances


************* PERFORMERS EXPECTATIONS *************

• Each FVJC Host has a guaranteed 15-minute slot on one of the stages (Already mapped out).

• 15 Minute sets INCLUDE on/off staging, tuning, etc. so plan for 10-12 minutes of music - NOT 15. (FIRM - Sets will be timed).

• All guest performers (non-hosts) will be selected by lottery after signing up. This keeps it completely fair and avoids favoritism—no matter when guests arrive. 

• Sign up to play on the numbered list at the stage of your choice. A lottery ball matching the slot number you signed next to will then be added to the lottery drum. 

• There will be two separate sign up sheets/ lotteries—one for each stage. Guests are welcome to sign up for both stages if they choose. 

• Arriving earlier means fewer entries at that moment, but everyone always has an equal chance regardless of when they arrive.

• If your name is drawn, it’s YOUR time—invite anyone you’d like to join you. Acts will be announced multiple times, up to three performers in advance, so PLEASE BE TUNED AND READY WITH ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR ENSEMBLE when it's your time to play. 

• If your number is called, you will know at least 3 acts ahead of your performance (~45 minutes). 

• When your set wraps up, we ask that you clear the stage promptly so we can welcome the next act. The goal is to give as many musicians a chance to play as possible—thank you for helping make that happen.

• This will be one of the biggest open jam celebrations of the year and an incredible opportunity for local exposure, connection, and community. Come to support, and be supported. Come to play. Come to celebrate the hosts who make it all possible. Give more than you take. And if you love this community—help us spread the word.

Side note: March 31st also happens to be my birthday—and honestly, there’s no better way I could imagine spending it than celebrating this community and the open mic hosts who make it all possible. You’re all invited—no gifts required, just your presence and your support. My birthday wish is to simply stand in a room full of musicians, hosts, friends, family and first-timers who make this community everything that it has grown to be. Come help me celebrate the real MVPs—our open mic hosts.

We’ll be there for you.
Can’t wait to see you there. ?
