Bunganut Pig hosts weekly 'Blues Jam'

          MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A good group of the Nashville greater limits Blues musicians find refuge every Tuesday night at the Bunganut Pig, a local bar in Murfreesboro that hosts a weekly jam that anyone can sign up to play.
          Jam host CJ Vaughn started the “Blues Jam” about two years ago trying to find closet blues musicians who were looking to get out and play every week. The turnout varies, but there is one thing that is for sure: there are plenty of blues to go around.
          Any musician who wants to jam has to show up with his or her instrument and sign the sign-in sheet. Vaughn puts the musicians into groups of five or six, and they play three songs together. Any song that a member wants will get played. On Nov. 28, there were vintage numbers from Jim Croce, and Bessie Smith, to more current artists like John Mayer.
          “This jam is a great time with great people," Vaughn said. "We hope that the word will continue to grow and more musicians find us here.”
          The Jam is hosted from 7-11 p.m. weekly on Tuesdays at the Murfreesboro Bunganut Pig, 1602 West Northfield Boulevard, Murfreesboro, Tenn. 37129. All musicians are welcome, and anyone looking to catch a good jam is welcome to come watch. 
          For more information on the event, check out the Bunganut Pig website at www.bunganutpig.com or call (615) 893-7860.
