The Stonebridge Wasaga Beach Blues Junior Jam provides local kids with an opportunity to perform with professionals in front of an audience. All the while developing and building their musical skills in a fun, friendly and accessible way. Blues music is roots music, and the youth are our roots. What better way to pass the torch than to have experienced artists guiding our youth in a live stage environment.

Pictured above are last year’s (2024) Junior Jam performers, managed and taught by Mars (Mauro Giammarco), who brought a talented group to the festival stage. It was wonderful to glimpse the future of live music on a spectacular day of performances. We look forward to seeing what they do next.
