Playtown Thursday Jam at Magnolia Motor Lounge

Jam
Magnolia Motor Lounge Thursday · 8:00 PM · Thursdays, generally 8:00-11:00 PM at Magnolia Motor Lounge. Playtown usually opens with a band set, often with a special guest, before selected audience musicians are invited to sit in. Check the current event listing for cover, age, and timing details.

Thursday nights at Magnolia Motor Lounge, Playtown turns a regular weeknight slot into a musician-led Fort Worth hang. The night generally runs from 8:00 to 11:00 PM, with Playtown opening as the house band and often bringing in a special guest before the room loosens into a jam. It is not a free-for-all open mic; the sit-ins usually come by invitation, which keeps the night focused while still leaving room for players in the crowd to get called up.

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.
