Poop Deck Jam

Open Mic
Poop Deck Bar and Grill Sunday · 2:00 PM · Every Sunday from 2:00 to 6:00 PM at Poop Deck Bar and Grill. The Fender Benders open with roughly a 45-minute set before the jam opens up; kids are allowed and full food/bar service is available. The series is more than three and a half years in and still going strong.

Poop Deck Jam is a Sunday afternoon Fort Worth hang built around The Fender Benders and an open-hearted blues-and-rock jam culture. The jam runs every Sunday from 2:00 to 6:00 PM at Poop Deck Bar and Grill on Bluebonnet Circle, starting with a roughly 45-minute Fender Benders set before the afternoon opens up for players. It is welcoming to performers at different levels, but it is not just a beginner circle: strong local musicians regularly come through, which gives the room that loose, earned, sit-in energy people hope to find at a real neighborhood jam.
