From musicincommon.org/programs ↗About this program
JAMMS songs are written by musicians and non-musicians alike from diverse and varied backgrounds worldwide. Amplify harnesses the talents of skilled musicians to propel the powerful messages of these songs to a wider audience through recordings and live performance.
Our three-week Amplify summer residency has brought together youth musicians from throughout the U.S. and Middle East to learn, record, and perform a full set of JAMMS songs.
Amplify '19 , featuring seven of the songs from that summer's residency, was released in 2020 and is the first in a series of scheduled Amplify releases.
