Hello my name is Sonny Stranga! :) I’m curious to know what exactly is “open jam?” I’m a local artist looking to perform very briefly, if possible. Please listen to my music at http://www.sonnystranga.com, http://www.myspace.com.sonnystranga09, http://www.youtube.com/sonnystranga, and http://www.reverbnation.com/sonnystranga. Is “open jam” similar to “open mic?” Please answer this question whenever you get a chance. Be Blessed in the name of Jesus! :)
Hi, I am not certain what the requirements are for being part of the open jam at Gospel Fest. Your best bet would be to contact the Chicago Office of Special Events at 312.744.3315.
Thanks a lot Brother! :) I contacted the Chicago office of Special Events and am making progress as we speak. If it is in God’s will, I will perform during the Gospel Fest at the Youth Insiration Stage on either Saturday or Sunday, or both! I will surley keep you posted. Pray for me and please feel free to contact me at [email protected] and [email protected]. Be Blessed in the name of Jesus! :)
Well, Stranga from South Shore, Chicago. I pray GOD gives you the desires of your heart so that you can continue in the struggle to spread the gospel thru your music and songs. I went to your site and will see you on stage someday.
FAVORcandles,
Be Blessed!
