BLUES JAM SESSION

The only blues jam session in Bratislava takes place every last Thursday of the month at Kafe Scherz. The venue has concerts almost every day and the jam session has been one of the most popular events. The blues session is hosted by Juraj Schweigert’s house band with Lukáš Hrončiak on guitar, Juraj Kalász on bass, and Juraj Raši on drums. The session’s mission is to bring local blues musicians together, give young musicians an opportunity to play with a professional band, and popularise blues music. Occasionally, we have the honour of featuring special guests, which included a popular jazz singer Peter Lipa, Austrian guitarist Jorg Danielsen, Hungarian harmonica virtuoso Matyas Pribojszki, New Orleans guitarist Ryan Donohue or Slovak blues diva Silvia Jozifoska.
