YEEEOWWWEEEE!!! WHAT A KILLER NITE FOR JAMMIN IT WAS !!!
Holy Ghost of the Great Pumpkin arises in the pumpkin patch to jammhisassoff at Ashley's Sunday Jam, "THE BEST DAMM JAMM IN THE WEST"!!...
Jammer & Co-Host MARK ST JOHN here!...Howdy Folks! Reviewin' and Previewin'!.......and welcome to fun times and enjoyment of your Sunday evening at Ashley's Bar & Grill !
OH MAN!.....And don't forget the grub here...OMG...& MMMMMMM....Killer Grub at Ashley's, owner MaryRose's menu is on the table so come on down for Sunday evening dinner, a few cocktails, 3 Big Screens with the latest games on, and some of the best rockin' blues music your ears EVER experienced....!! Oh yeah, there's a pool table too..!!
My Cusine Recommendation is: Try a CUP of the Chili Verde...mmm..it will tickle your tastebuds and fire up your tongue!! The best EVER....and only $3.50....wow....good price!
No Kidding, this is the REAL DEAL...!
Hope you get to hang out and experience it soon..!!

Someone recently emailed me to ask "what makes this the best jamm as advertised?"
My answer is very simple....
"because of the talented and interesting JAMMERS that come here to Jam...This jam is for and about YOU....!"

OUR MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE JAMM...!!!
This jamm is about the Jammers NOT the band...It's all for YOU, whether you are a player or in the audience, this jam is YOUR jam, YOUR workshop, for YOUR enjoyment and pleasure, for YOUR connection power and networking of musicians and music lovers!

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU, THE JAMMERS....Hope you come and join in....!!!

On Oct 31st the Sunday nite Halloween Jamm at Ashley's was unbelievable!!
Host and guitarist/vocalist JILL SHARPE started the parade with some of her funky-bluesy compositions, accompianed by star jammers of the core band including bassist MARK ST JOHN, drummer MIKE HARVEY, young jammer guitarist MIKE KAHLIL, saxaphonist NEAL "the squeal" SHELTON and keyboardist LINZEE !

Later in the evening several local musicians including harmonica players
BLUHARP LOUIS & BOB COOPER, incredible sax player PAT ZICARI, a couple of jammer bassists, our pals RON GOLDBERG and PAUL DOMINGUEZ, and long-time 'Kansas city's Own' bassist/vocalist Sir STAN GRIGGS, who brought the house down with his version of "See See Rider"! Newcomer jammer guitarist J.C. who arrived sans the now defuct Blue Dog Jam got up to cut loose with everyone and was fantastic...thanx dude hope to see ya again...!
Here's another reason why we're the best jamm in the west: because of a new gal bassist TONYA WILLIAMS, who accidentally ended up at Ashley's, stated she hadn't played bass in 10yrs, then she got up there and rocked the blues with the rest of the gang!! And she Rocked...!! Very brave gal...gettin' up there with people she just met...after a long hiatus...!! Cool stuff for all you Jammers out there..!
Next Sunday nite we'll all be back to join in the parade of jammers and music lovers that show up EVERY week at Ashley's Sunday Nite blues jam, "THE BEST DAMM JAMM IN THE WEST !!"
And now you know the story....See ya there or be square....hahaha.....!!!!

LB Outdoor Festival

This is an event hosted by the City of Long Beach. We played the event last year and it was just lovely. We're looking forward to the event again this year, with speakers like Assembly woman Bonnie Lowenthal, First Lady of Long Beach Nancy Foster, National Alliance for Mental Illness, United States Veterens Intiative, etc. I am a huge advocate for mental health that does not seem to be handles well in our country any longer, I advise all to care for, donate to and volunteer for any event that supports those in a more difficult situation that we're in. Thank you Patti LaPlace once again for extensing the invitation to the Jill Sharpe Band. We're honored. It's fun - food and live music at Recreation Park in the Band Shell. See you there!
