entertainers from 1 PM till 8 PM with a musical jam to end the day. Brevard Music Aid is a State of Florida registered not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that helps musicians and music professionals in Brevard County who are experiencing emergency or catastrophic circumstances. The fund was founded by Hieke Clarke, (editor/owner of Brevard/Florida Live Magazine), as a way to give back to the
Brevard community.
The event called “SAM JAM 5” will also have raffles, drawings, door prizes, and both live and silent auctions.
ALL monies raised go directly to Brevard Music Aid on Sammy’s behalf as a part of his on going legacy. Samuel “Sammy” Gorman was one of the most giving individuals ever to walk this planet. He was the co-host of the popular Monday Night Jams where musicians from all over the state would come and “jam”. No matter what level of proficiency the musicians had, Sammy was always encouraging and open to teach. He was the kind of guy that if you needed something, he would give it. If you needed a
meal, he would cook it. If you needed a place to stay, the couch was set up for you. He was a large part of the Brevard music scene and many fellow musicians turned to him in times of need. He was a true humanitarian and excellent musician.
He passed away in 2008. This memorial jam was founded to benefit local area musicians and music professionals as a way for him to continue to help the people he loved. We will also remember and celebrate the lives of other musicians and friends that have passed, with a special remembrance for Don Fournier who was also a part of the Monday Night Jams and was a great humanitarian, musician and friend as well.
This years entertainment will be some of Brevard's most popular bands including Last Chance Band, FUNPIPE, The Bonedogs, and RJ Campbell (Blues Artist, Tampa), .
