Bare Jams are a British indie-funk-pop collective who started out in 2011 as a busking duo - Ollie Coombes (vocals/guitar) and Sam James (drums/percussion) - and have since grown into a seven-piece live band. Their sound blends soul, funk, jazz and rock into hook-driven feel-good songs, built up through years of relentless touring across Europe. Festival appearances at Glastonbury and Boomtown Fair helped cement their reputation, and their 2022 album No Rain No Flowers was followed by a steady stream of singles through 2024, 2025 and into 2026.
Bare Jams released multiple new singles in 2026, including 'Caught in the Middle', 'Shiver', 'Basements' and 'How Far?'.
In 2025, the singles 'Ivy', 'On Our Way', 'Crusher' and 'Cold Treats 2025' were released.
Bare Jams did a UK tour in November 2024 through cities such as Birmingham, Leeds, Oxford, Brighton, London, Guildford, Bournemouth and Bristol.
The band went on a winter tour through the United Kingdom in spring 2024.
