ABOUT US

Husky Jam is all about providing students a platform to express their musical talent.

Founded in 2021 by a group of students looking to find gig opportunities for their bands, we have quickly transformed into a one-stop-shop for anyone interested in getting involved with live music at the University of Washington (UW). Anchored by a dedicated team of officers, we create, organize, and put on live performances for student bands and the UW community.

Beyond our own productions, we have collaborated with other organizations on campus, such as the Arts and Entertainment division of the UW Associated Student Union (ASUW), to bring live music events to a larger audience.

Our mission is to provide our student performers with a stage, and our audiences with affordable and enjoyable concert experiences.

In Husky Jam's 5 year history, our teams have been able to put on numerous shows, reaching thousands of different people in the UW study body and supporting hundreds of student musicians. Here are 4 of our latest events-- from rock to EDM to jazz, Husky Jam certainly has something here for you!

In an effort to shine a light on the difficulties currently facing U.S. immigrants, we partnered with the UW’s chapter of La Resistencia - Immigrant Rights are Human Rights. Taking place in the wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House, this show raised donations to support those imprisoned at the Northwest Detention Center. Artists from immigrant backgrounds were encouraged to audition, and filled the space with sounds from around the globe.

Building off of the success of the Husky Jam Groove Lounge, we hosted another jazz show - this time in the HUB North Ballroom. Our artists jammed through the night while our audience sipped their mocktails, which also made their return from Track 13.

The successor to our inaugural show for Dawg Daze (The UW’s Welcome Week), Melodaze 2025 was a massive leap for our organization. We held a free-to-attend show outside of UW’s Mueller Hall, where over 400 students jammed out to a five band set with genres ranging from Bollywood fusion to punk rock.

Finishing off Husky Jam’s calendar for the 2024-25 school year, Cruise Control served as one last chance for students to kick back before finals. Featuring five UW bands (including a faculty group), this show looked forward to the summer while offering some great tunes in the UW HUB Lyceum.
