Nagoya’s most inclusive live music night
The Ham Jam is Nagoya’s most welcoming and dynamic live music night—blending all genres and all levels of talent into a single evening of spontaneity, diversity, and connection every fourth Wednesday of the month. From shamisen to jazz, acoustic soul to electric rock, every month brings fresh collaborations, unforgettable performances, and a sense that whether you play, sing, or simply listen—you’re part of the music.
A Community That Keeps Growing
The Ham Jam has evolved into something extraordinary—not just in size, but in the sheer variety of talent and genres that take the stage each month.
From acoustic soul to electric rock, traditional Japanese instruments to free-flowing jazz, every session becomes its own celebration of musical diversity.
Regulars will tell you with a smile:
"Every month brings something new!"
The Magic of Inclusivity
The real charm of The Ham Jam lies in its openness. You never know who you’ll meet or what collaborations will spark. Whether you’re a seasoned musician, a shower singer, or someone who simply loves being surrounded by good vibes and live sound—you’ll find your place here.
Bring your instrument, your voice, or just your enthusiasm. The experienced Hamster Jam crew knows how to weave everyone into the fabric of the evening.
A Nagoya Night Like No Other
The venue fills with an energy that’s uniquely Nagoya—where language barriers dissolve, strangers become friends, and first-time visitors leave feeling like family. Some of the most unforgettable performances have been spontaneous: a saxophone riff joining a catchy melody, a jazz drummer locking into rhythm with a rock guitarist.
That’s the Ham Jam spirit!
Hosts: Kurt Samson, Krissy Diggs, Masahide Goto, Adam Demby (Drums)
