JAM Corps is a new music-based program designed to build
connection, creativity, and community among local veterans. Through weekly jam
sessions held at the local VFW, veterans are invited to bring their
instruments, share their talents, and make music together in a welcoming and
low-pressure environment.

No matter what your experience level, JAM Corps is about
showing up, connecting, and enjoying the power of music alongside others who
share similar experiences.

These sessions will culminate in a special performance at
the Marion Theatre on November 10, the day before Veterans Day. Participation
in the performance is entirely optional. Veterans may choose to engage solely
in the weekly sessions without performing publicly.

JAM Corps is funded in part by Creative Forces®: NEA
Military Healing Arts Network, an initiative of the National Endowment in
partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Creative

SensaMotion hails from Atlantic City, New Jersey. What started off as a Jersey dream nearly 16 years ago, when a group of friends came together with a shared passion for music, has grown into a powerful voice in American reggae. The band takes listeners into a space of positivity and awareness, writing music that is both spiritually uplifting and grounded in mindfulness. Their last album, Life In True Color, attracted attention in the scene and was praised for its thoughtful songwriting, emotional depth, and production. Building on that momentum, in 2025 alone SensaMotion released two powerful new singles, working with artists such as Stick Figure and The Hip Abduction, and their sophomore album, Feel It All Around.

The Sunset Songs Series brings free monthly concerts to Citizens’ Circle in Downtown Ocala from 7 to 9 p.m., showcasing a vibrant mix of genres from professional touring and emerging artists. Now in its third season, the series fosters community connection, supports downtown businesses, and offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy live music. Come early for dinner, grab a bite from on‑site food trucks, and enjoy beer and wine available for purchase through our beverage partner, the Ocala Outreach Foundation. Bring a chair, invite friends, and settle in for an evening under the open sky—free and open to all.
