Poh’s Corner Pub Hosts Weekly Open Jam

The Holiday Music Motel, Poh’s Corner Pub and Fred Young Auto have come together to create a weekly open jam.

pat mAcdonald, creative director for The Holiday Music Motel and Steel Bridge SongFest, always envisioned more regular live music in Sturgeon Bay.

“I’ve always hoped that venues in the downtown area would pick up where Steel Bridge SongFest left off and have more live music on a regular basis,” said mAcdonald.

With the return of Chris Aaron to Sturgeon Bay, mAcdonald was inspired to talk to Poh’s Corner Pub about holding a weekly open jam with Aaron as the regularly featured host. Fred Young of Young Automotive offered to provide the necessary sound equipment. With this collaboration, Poh’s quickly became a regular Wednesday showcase of talent and a favorite watering hole for mid-week music enthusiasts.

“This isn’t a normal open-mic,” said mAcdonald. “It’s a weekly chance for this little growing community of Sturgeon Bay musicians and songwriters to get together like a loose-knit band and back each other up on each other’s tunes. The group and the repertoire are growing week by week. It’s becoming more and more like an impromptu show that is actually quite entertaining for non musicians too.”

Wednesday Night Jam with Chris Aaron and Friends takes place every Wednesday from 8 pm to midnight at Poh’s Corner Pub in Sturgeon Bay.
