The music scene in Tuscaloosa has gone through many changes over the years but one thing that has stayed consistent is local guitar virtuoso Hamilton "Ham" Bagby. 

Ham has been a fixture on the local bar scene for years and many bands welcome the opportunity to let him sit in on one of their sets. For the 7th year, this Tuscaloosa legend will gather his friends for an effort called 'Ham Ham Jam Jam 7.'

The annual concert will again this year be held at Egan's Bar on The Strip, May 22nd - 24th and will feature live music from local and regional acts like Looksy, Manchino and Ne'er-do-wells on Friday night, John Smith, Golden Monica and Ferguson & The Copper Dogs on Saturday and live sets from CBDB and Ham Bagby & the Siege closing out the weekend on Sunday.

Proceeds will benefit The University of Alabama Autism Clinic Parent Resource and Support Library who provides books, materials, and support for parents whose children have recently been diagnosed with autism. When a child is diagnosed, parents often feel isolated and confused when trying to navigate intervention options. This experience can be overwhelming and access to reliable and helpful information may be difficult to identify. This library is intended to support families as they take the important early steps to help their child learn and succeed.

Your support at 'Ham Ham Jam Jam 7' is greatly needed! For the weekend’s round of music they’re not charging a cover to get in but donations are encouraged. Music starts at 11 pm on Friday, 10:30 pm Saturday and a 4 pm start on Sunday.
