Kuribo Jams is a live, collaborative night built in real time.

Anchored by a core band drawn from some of the most experienced players in the Bristol scene, the space opens up as the night unfolds. Artists, vocalists, and movers enter, respond, and create together.

The line between performer and audience dissolves. The direction shifts moment to moment, shaped by whoever is in the room. This isn’t a traditional gig. It’s a system. The focus is interaction over performance. Energy over polish.

The opening band features Harry Stoneham (Bass, Waldo’s Gift), Cy Brandl (Guitar), Elma Houghton (Saxophone), Monty Willoughby (Keys), Irish Mellow (Vocals), and Kerris McDonald (Drums). All veterans of the Bristol scene, with experience spanning major artists, international shows and festivals across the country. Together, they set the foundation: a sound that is raw, grungy, underground, and grimey. Less polished. More alive.

This is the first iteration. A pilot designed to evolve into a continuous series, where each session feeds the next through content, collaboration, and community.
