The JamSpot Story

In late 2002, JamSpot founders Steve Folsom, John Mazzone and Scott Anderson began developing their concept of a national chain of comfortable, convenient, high quality, music studios, where musicians of all ages, styles and skill levels could play music whenever they felt like it, without any of hassles usually involved in finding a place to play.

They began by trying to find out if anyone had ever built such a place. They talked to hundreds of musicians and visited scores of music stores. They looked online, in magazines, and went to trade shows.

Over time they found a few places where you could rent a room with some gear in it for a couple of hours. But none of these places measured up to their vision for JamSpot. Most held tightly to the old model of pushing musicians to the fringes of society in drafty old warehouses located in sketchy areas of town. They weren’t nice enough for the pros and much too rough for recreational musicians.

And, most importantly, they didn’t seem to have the comfortable atmosphere and sense of community that showed respect for their customers and celebrated their love for making music.

After a year of searching Steve, John and Scott concluded that the only way to create JamSpot was to build it.

Putting together a unique group of people, with expertise in music, marketing, finance, communications, sound engineering, architecture and construction, Steve, John and Scott built JamSpot the way they wanted it done.

Since there was no good model to follow, they started out by building a single studio and then inviting musicians from around the Boston area to play the room and provide feedback. Once they had the first room where they wanted it, they built a second room next to it and began another series of tests to find out how well the two rooms worked together.

After several months of R&D, the development team was able to come up with a room design that met their goals for sound quality, and which could be built quickly and affordably in almost any location.

When JamSpot opened for business in 2003 it was an immediate hit with musicians from all over the Boston area. People just loved the idea that they could play music whenever they wanted to, for as long as they wanted to, simply by calling JamSpot to book a room. From this base the word began to spread, as friends told their friends about JamSpot, and then they told their friends.

At the same time, people from across the country began calling to find out how they could open a JamSpot in their area, and we knew we were on to something.
