Showtime Kochi is a community of musicians whose goal is to improve the music scene of Kochi, by providing opportunities for the local public to showcase their musical talents in front of an audience, completely free of cost, whilst also giving them a chance to enjoy live music.
Since then, Showtime Kochi has conducted 5 Street Jams in total, including the aforementioned World Music Day jam, at venues like Decathlon (Vytilla), Lassi Shop (Chanaganpuzha Park) and Cafe Kapio (Kaloor). The Street Jam is conducted every month, and is funded and organized by the members of Showtime, who come up to about 20 in number. They provide a sound system and some basic instruments - two guitars, a keyboard and a cajon to keep rhythm. Mics are also provided for singers. The Street Jam is open to everyone and is completely free of cost. People from the audience are encouraged to come and sing a song, or play a tune on the guitar, or accompany other performers, much like an Open Mic. It is a platform for live music, much like what their friends at Arbor Vitae, an organisation that conducts Open Mics around Kochi, provide.
A lot of performers have happily proclaimed that their stage fright has reduced after performing for a Street Jam with Showtime. The members of Showtime make it a point to support the performers and give them a lot of encouragement and love.
Some of the bands that have performed for Showtime Kochi's Street Jams are - Metafolks, The Diaries of A Manchild, Mesmerocksia, Samsara, Cantabile Vibes, Raven In The Sea, Brain Stew, Three Hours Peace, Fourth Dimension etc.
This month, Showtime Kochi's 'Street Jam 6' is going to conducted at McDonald's Vytilla on Saturday, 25th November, from 4 pm onwards. Acoustic guitars, a keyboard, a cajon and a drumkit will be provided. Attendees can help spread Showtime Kochi's message by taking a selfie at the event, and will even be rewarded with a free drink/meal.
