Hi, everyone!
Here on Jammin’ with Jamie, you know that hardly a holiday goes by that we don’t celebrate in song. With all of the scheduling and technical tomfoolery, you might think we skipped a pretty notable April holiday…
Ha! We fooled you! You’d be a fool not to jam with us to this week’s flock of…
Hi, everyone!
There’s a new season coming up! … Although, depending on where you live, it certainly may not feel like it yet.
Let’s spring into action with a satchel of…
Hi, everyone!
Let’s be honest: our pumpkins are still holding strong, the leaves are still folding, and the monsters, ghosts, and other freaky fiends haven’t crawled back into the crypt yet! So why end the season just because of the silly calendar when clearly, it wants to be resurrected and live on? And hey, this way, while other people are revving up their holiday cheer, we can still be cheery by holding on to the spooky season!
So this week, let’s purge some of the excess spookiness with a stream of…
Hi, everyone!
Our jam session of spooky sci-fi songs that was originally scheduled to air October 9 ended up playing last Saturday, October 16, at 6 am ET/5 am CT, just before our regularly-scheduled jam session. If you’d like the recording of that jam session (or any other jam session), let me know!
This week, grab your stakes, silver, crucifixes, and any other protection you can think of, because we’re walking through the woods and heading down into the crypt for a mash-up of…
Hi, everyone!
Now that last week’s jam session has the spirit of the spooky season in our souls, let’s explore the many areas of the season!
I’ve rigged up all the equipment, pulled all the switches, and prepared all the chemicals, so put on your goggles, gloves, and any other safety equipment you think you might need in case our experiments go awry, as we examine our slab of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s officially October, which means we can officially creak open the coffin of creepy choruses to celebrate the spooky season!
Due to various world events and technology events, we weren’t able to have any of our traditional Halloween jam sessions last year. So, since it’s been a bit, we need to do something to shake the dust off our bones and get grooving again!
And what better way to do that than with a deluge of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s been a bit!
I’m still engaged in the “Battle of the Hard Drives,” working to extract my years’ worth of music and videos from hard drives I’d used to back up my computer before my most recent backup failed… which, of course, was while my computer was getting repaired.
But anyway, I decided to pull whatever I could find online and patch and stitch together a brand new prerecorded show this week because… tomorrow, June 26, is my birthday!
So, as a little “birthday present to myself,” this week’s theme is…
Hi, everyone!

This week, while we’re swimming in that discount candy, we’ll also be swimming in…
Hi, everyone!
This week, we’re going to we’re going to take a look at a very specific type of song that pops up a lot on both screen and stage. And that is… the huge group number! And not just any group number: the one where the whole cast comes together to sing and, oftentimes, dance.
And because this is Jammin’ with Jamie, we have ensemble numbers that even reference the fact that they’re ensemble numbers!
Try not to get lost in the crowd as we jam to a mob of…

… “Crowd Choruses”!
This week, we’ll be raising our voices with a cast of… however many singers are featured in this overcrowded jam session! Just try not to get lost in the crowd!

Hi, everyone!
This Jammin’ with Jamie jam session is going to be more… experimental… as we mix and match and blow up a volatile series of…
