POPROCKZ JAM is LA’s most electrifying monthly music experience, where singers, instrumentalists, and music lovers unite to create unforgettable nights of curated chaos and collaboration.
Produced by Jamie Hodes and Athan Hilaki, POPROCKZ JAM was born from a shared vision: to build a creative playground for passionate musicians and fans—one that breaks the boundaries of the typical jam night and instead feels like an epic, ever-evolving concert, every single time.
We’re definitely not your average open mic/jam. Each event is meticulously curated, blending high-energy performances, and surprise moments that can only happen when LA’s top talent collides with up-and-comers, weekend warriors, and special guests. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping on stage for the first time, you’ll find your tribe here—and maybe even your next bandmate or best friend.
Hosted at Los Angeles venues like Hotel Ziggy and Lucky Strike Hollywood, POPROCKZ JAM happens twice a month: the first Monday at Hotel Ziggy and a rotating Friday at Lucky Strike. Every show is a new adventure, featuring a carefully crafted lineup, rotating house bands, and spontaneous collabs that keep even the regulars guessing what’s next.
POPROCKZ JAM is about community over competition. We believe in supporting artists, building genuine connections, and keeping live music at the heart of LA’s culture. Every show is designed to be inclusive, welcoming, and full of surprises—because that’s when the real magic happens.
Curation: Every performer is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure the night flows and the energy stays sky-high.

Before you join your next (or first) POPROCKZ JAM, we want to touch on something important that helps keep our shows running smoothly and enjoyable for everyone.
Sometimes songs can fall apart when cues are missed, progressions go off track, or parts aren’t fully prepared. When that happens, it doesn’t just affect the song – it can also throw off the other musicians on stage, especially the singers, who may end up looking unprepared even when they’re not. We all want to avoid that and make sure everyone shines together.
Please remember:
The cues and progressions are the backbone of every song. Everyone needs to listen carefully and follow them.
If you sign up for Guitar 1 (G1), you are expected to play the lead parts. If you’d rather play rhythm or acoustic guitar, please sign up for Guitar 2 (G2).
If you sign up for Keys, be ready to play the actual parts or coordinate with the other musicians about how to split them.
If you’re on Drums, make sure you know the tempo and progression – the drummer drives the song so be confident and steady!
And overall, please come prepared. If you’re not confident on a song, let us know or skip that one until you are.
One last thing – please make sure you read the full info in the group song emails. We’ve noticed that some details are getting missed, which has led to miscommunication and last-minute issues on show day!
We all understand that some participants are newer to performing with live bands, and that’s totally fine – that’s what JAM nights are for. But being prepared and listening to each other is what makes this experience great for everyone and keeps the energy strong on stage.
Thank you all for putting in the effort and helping us keep POPROCKZ JAM professional, fun, and respectful for every performer. Let’s keep learning, supporting each other, and growing together as a community of musicians.
