The description below is preserved as a record of this past event. Dates, admission, tickets and offers mentioned here are historical and are no longer available for this listing.

Experience one of Atlanta's most celebrated live-music traditions as the legendary Al Smith Jam Session takes over American Dive in downtown Atlanta.

Led by acclaimed keyboardist, bandleader and musical director Al Smith, this high-energy experience brings together a powerhouse house band, some of Atlanta's most talented singers and musicians, rising artists and surprise guests for an unscripted night of live music and spontaneous collaboration.

From soul and R&B to jazz, funk, blues and classic favorites, every performance unfolds in the moment. Musicians trade solos, vocalists bring the room to life and unexpected performers may step onto the stage throughout the evening.

No rehearsed setlist. No two shows are ever the same. You never know who may take the stage.

Come early, enjoy dinner and drinks, and experience an unforgettable evening of live music in the heart of downtown Atlanta.
