Bjam Records was founded in 1993 as an indie label based in St. Louis, Missouri.
It's debut release was "Great Dream" by the Geyer Street Sheiks. More releases followed including "It's
Hoo Doo Time" by The Hoo Doo Cats, "Far As The Wind Blows" by Belle Starr, "What's That Smell? Live At
The Venice Cafe" by Funkabilly, "Rethink Rubbish" by FulmAr and "Out Of The Gate Again-Sixteen More From
The Grain Belt" a compilation of songs from St. Louis area bands.
Bjam was active until 2007 when it became clear that the company would dissolve. At this time it was determined that the
remaining stock of CD's was to be sold or donated and when that was accomplished Bjam wouldn't just turn out the lights, but
would make most of the catalog available via internet download only. The proceeds of this endeavor were then sent along to
88.1 KDHX the local community radio station and that's were we stand today.
Some of the titles are available and some are not but if you do a little browsing you should be able to find, at the very
least, a used CD or the digital download. If you do happen to purchase tunes from Bjam's catalog remember that the proceeds
go to KDHX.
Thanks for the memories.
The Bjam Boys.
