Presented by: The Gumbo Room Blues Jam

The GUMBO ROOM BLUES JAM is a weekly event in the Gov’s front bar (Gibson Stage) on Thursday evenings that runs from 9.40pm until late and echoes the days when blues music enjoyed a regular home at The Gov. Each week our host Theo Panagaris invites both local and interstate blues musos and singers on stage to perform after our feature band has opened proceedings on the Gallery Stage.
