Mezzo's Corner

A jam session at Grow in Hackney Wick, founded by Mezzo, where a house band opens the night and musicians and vocalists then take turns on the floor.

Mezzo's Corner is a jam session founded by Mezzo, described as born in East London, and drawing on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae. It returns to Grow for a residency, open to anyone who plays or sings, from informal MCs to classically trained instrumentalists.

Each night begins with the house band, which kicks things off with four familiar chords. The floor then opens to rotating performances by musicians and vocalists. Performers may bring their own instruments or use the set-up the house band provides, and those who prefer to listen can simply watch and take part as spectators.

Grow is a concert and performance venue in Hackney Wick, east London, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. The night suits people who want to play or sing alongside others, as well as those who came to hear them.
