Bare Jams are a vibrant, upbeat seven-piece band originally from the UK, known for their infectious blend of poppy-funk, reggae, ska, soul and rock that always puts a smile on your face. The group was founded in 2011 by schoolmates Ollie (vocals/guitar) and Sam (drums/percussion), who started as a busking duo and soon expanded into the energetic collective they are today. Since those early days, they’ve become a well-loved live act with catchy lyrics about everyday life, parties, and cheeky themes like their pet gnome and the Hokey-Cokey, all wrapped in organic, feel-good party vibes.

Over the years Bare Jams have built a strong reputation on the festival and live circuit, playing at major UK and European festivals and supporting established acts. They have performed at events including Boomtown Fair, Isle of Wight Festival, and Glastonbury and have shared stages with bands like The Wailers, Katchafire, and La Pegatina. Their debut album This ’n’ That was released in 2020, and they’ve continued releasing a steady stream of singles and music, with their latest single “Shiver” released in January 2026.

In recent years the band has kept busy with gigs across the UK, including dates in Norwich, Southampton, and a scheduled show in Guildford in April 2026. Their live shows are known for high energy, catchy grooves and tight musicianship that move between laid-back reggae rhythms and upbeat ska and funk. As they continue writing and performing, Bare Jams remain focused on spreading positivity, connecting with audiences, and evolving their sound with each release.
