DMC JAM 4 this past weekend, September 19th and 20th, was one of the best ever! Several hundred people came through the doors of Dexter Music Center to partake in the clinics and contests we had going on throughout the weekend. Though the rain hindered the outside portion of our annual jam, we moved indoors and proceeded to throw down, DMC style. Special thanks goes to all of the people who came by to visit us and the great people of Gibson and Epiphone. Thanks to 13th Floor for not only giving a fantastic blues performance Saturday evening but for going above and beyond helping us out behind the scenes during both days of DMC JAM 4. Thanks to Hank Ettel for his help with the guitar challenge along with Quantum Cables' Mike Torbet for running the sound.

Thanks also to The Dusters for delivering a ripping, Delta Blues style set to close out our 4th annual DMC JAM!

Below are a few highlights from our 4th annual DMC JAM.

Ministry and Rigor Mortis are two bands known worldwide for their groundbreaking sound and intensity in the genres of industrial and thash metal, respectfully. The mastermind behind both of these prominent forces is none other than the legendary, extreme music guitarist Mike Scaccia. To see this man in action and to witness the shredding, angst ridden, riff ripping sound that he is capable of producing, is truly an event in and of itself... and he will show you how its done. Live and in your face at DMC JAM 4.
