The City Wide Sessions Returns! Hosted by Dan Kalowitz
Are you up to Jam with the best of Philly?
ARE YOU A MUSICIAN LOOKING TO JOIN THE JAM? RSVP FOR FREE ENTRY BELOW!
The last City Wide Sessions jam at Heritage Jazz in 2023 brought together a real mix of players—familiar faces, new voices, and the kind of easy collaboration that only happens when the room feels right. It’s the kind of night people still bring up.
Now, City Wide Sessions is returning—this time at Velvet Whip, with the possibility of becoming a monthly hang.
The idea is simple: create a consistent space where musicians across Philly can show up, sit in, experiment, and connect. A room that welcomes both seasoned players and newer artists, without pressure—just good energy and openness. It also creates a real opportunity for younger musicians to learn firsthand—playing alongside a high-quality house band, picking up the unspoken language of live performance in real time.
Nothing forced—just a good room, good people, and the music building from there.
