Open Drom Sessions: Jerusafunk at The Dark Side – Tempe, AZ

Open Drom Sessions is a new monthly jam at Dark Side dedicated to the music and spirit of Klezmer, Balkan, Turkish, Flamenco, Bulgarian, and beyond—a celebration of music without borders.

Each session begins with a set from a house band, then the floor opens up for a community jam, then ends with a short set from the house band. Bring your instrument, your voice, —or just your ears. Come dance, sing, play, or simply listen. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a seasoned player or just curious about these traditions.

This month features Jerusafunk as the house band. Jerusafunk’s groove reigns supreme and musical boundaries dissolve into a vibrant tapestry of sound. Our six-member band is at the forefront of genre-bending, interweaving the infectious rhythms of traditional funk and disco with an avant-garde twist that defies convention. Inspired by world music genres such as Jazz, Bossa Nova, Cumbia, and Taksim with high-energy performances that pulse with creativity, we invite you to immerse yourself in a musical journey unlike any other.

The event is 21+, so grab a beer, settle in, and join the circle. Bring your instrument, an openness to learn, and a commitment to making everyone feel welcome.
