Jam Alker

Jam Alker is a musician, public speaker, and recovery activist. When he was in treatment for addiction, he rediscovered the power of music to heal and connect people, culminating in the release of his first solo album, "Sophrosyne." Since then, he's made it his mission to share the healing powers of music. As a public speaker, he shares his recovery perspective and his music to educate communities, students, recovery organizations, healthcare providers, and corporations, about the stigma of addiction and the hope of recovery. In 2019, he was invited to speak at both Google's Palo Alto and Chicago headquarters. He also performs with his band The JAB, and continues to use music to reach others still struggling. As of November 2020, Alker is in post-production with director Brian Hathaway for a documentary about his story, entitled "The Middle Way."
