We're excited to be welcoming the Lilypad community to jam and listen to music together.
The Lilypad Jazz Jam is open to instrumentalists of all levels, we only ask that you come prepared to play at least one or two well-known Jazz Standards in the commonly played key. Listeners are welcome to come and enjoy the music these spontaneously arranged ensembles will create! Our host will be working with players to make sure everyone gets a chance to get on stage and play something they're comfortable with. We'll have a drum kit, piano and bass on the back line. Our stage hosts some of the heaviest players on the planet, come down and catch the vibe!
We're happy to have Nic Adams hosting and leading a band to get the night started. Come early, you won't want to miss their performance!
Nic Adams is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, composer, educator, and luthier based in Boston, MA. Specializing in saxophone, drums, guitar, bass, and north Asian folk music, their music pulls from a long list of traditions, from John Coltrane to punk rock and Tuvan throat singing. With this wide array of influences, Nic seeks to create music that synthesizes many different musical points into a cohesive and unique form. Finding common grounds among musical cultures and using them as jumping-off points for new compositions or improvisations is at the core of Nic’s work. Nic is currently pursuing a Master’s at Longy School of Music, gigs in the greater Boston area, and spends their free time building hybrid Tuvan/western traditional instruments.
