The Sunset Jam was created in January 2016 by guitarist Erik Himel to fill a void in the LA music scene. The concept of the night was to provide not only an over the top show for a non-musician crowd but to also create an environment where musicians could network, connect and be showcased. The Sunset Jam is unique in the sense that on a night to night basis musicians could be performing in front of record labels, A&R scouts, producers, songwriters, musical directors and bands seeking musicians by accepting new musicians to perform through an online submission process which allows players without major credits, but with the musicianship, an opportunity to share the stage at a legacy venue alongside top touring/session players.

Since our inception in January 2016, we’ve featured over 1000 unique musicians including A-List touring/session musicians for acts including Beyoncé, Imagine Dragons, Cee Lo Green, Robby Krieger of The Doors, The Doobie Brothers, Rod Stewart, Mumiy Troll, JES, Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, Alice Cooper, Christina Aguilera, Lifehouse, Leon, Alan Parsons, Scott Weiland, Linda Perry, Kings X, Cher Lloyd, Sweet, Gallant, Edgar Winter Band, Crazytown, Puddle Of Mudd, Matt Sorum, Bonham, Aerosmith, Foreigner, Billy Idol, Chris Cornell, Shania Twain, Seal, Filter, Smashmouth, Montrose, Slash, Rooney, Air Supply, James Blunt, The Voice UK, The Voice Australia, The Voice Greece, The Voice Israel, Thriller Live, Sheryl Crow and Alicia Keys.

A legendary fixture of the iconic Sunset Strip, the lounge and music venue underwent a bit of a “revenomization” by longtime owner Darin Feinstein in 2015, emerging with a revved up look that brings the iconic venue a new face accented with deep red vinyl booths and entryway art by native L.A. artist Louis Carreon. Since its stellar opening in 1993, the world-famous Viper Room (also known as Johnny Depp’s joint) has hosted the likes of Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, Queens of the Stone Age, Courtney Love, Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Pete Yorn, Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, the Strokes, Weezer, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Iggy Pop and Sheryl Crow, as well as an array of other internationally established artists and the cult favorites of America’s underground. This intimate nightclub, situated in the heart of the world famous Sunset Strip, is styled in the fashion of Harlem’s great jazz clubs of the 1920’s and even recently launched a new clothing line sold at shopviperroom.com.
