Jam In The Van, one of the most respected and influential music channels in the world, has announced the Speakeasy Sessions. The new live event series, which kicked off in September, features full music and comedy sets in front of a limited audience from an outdoor location on the westside of Los Angeles providing fans and viewers a unique and intimate experience.

“We needed to figure out a way to keep Jam in the Van going when we couldn't be on the road,” shares Jam In The Van co-founders Dave Bell and Jake Cotler. “So, we created a safe and socially-distanced model that simultaneously helps artists who aren't able to make touring revenue and music fans who are craving a dose of live music and comedy.”
The Speakeasy Sessions are available online via HD multi-camera livestreams for $10 each. Fans can also subscribe to the Jam In The Van channel on SoundSurf for $10 per month to gain access to all of their livestreams; PRESS HERE to purchase. Exclusive merchandise will also be available for each event. For those in the Los Angeles area missing live events, PRESS HERE for info on how to be a part of the audience.
