HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The Los Angeles Music Network’s “LAMN Jam” heads for the Big Apple. Launched three years ago in Los Angeles (where performances continue), LAMN Jams go beyond traditional showcases by featuring artists performing original songs, followed by instant professional critiques from a panel of industry experts. This year, artists will perform for $20,000 in prizes.

Artists will perform original material at Manhattan LAMN Jams, which begin March 18 and take place on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at A&M Roadhouse located at 6 Murray Street in the heart of downtown New York City. LAMN Jam performances are open to the public and admission is free. LAMN Jam’s emphasize creativity and originality, featuring music written by the artists themselves (no covers!).

2006 LAMN Jam Champ Hits Big Time
“We will continue to discover great songs as well as great artists, like Tim Fagan, winner of LAMN Jam 2006,” says LAMN Jam founder Tess Taylor, President of both the Los Angeles Music Network (LAMN) and the National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP).

After winning the 2006 LAMN Jam, champion Tim Fagan was invited to tour with the Goo Goo Dolls and won the John Mayer Songwriting Contest last year, co-writing with the multi-platinum songwriter and recording artist.

Guest Experts
A rotating panel of guest experts will include executives from Universal Music Group, Cherry Lane Music Publishing, Tunecore.com, platinum and award-winning producers, music journalists and other taste-makers.
