Jars of Jam update
Hello Everyone!
Hope you guys are all well. There's a number of exciting things to report regarding Jars of Jam, so here we go!!
If you live locally or plan to visit Central Florida (in the USA) anytime soon, look out for gig dates. We're going to be performing more often than ever before. Currently we're scheduled to play at Delandapalooza on April 9th, and we have TBA dates at Orlando Brewing that I will announce as soon as they are firmed up.
You probably already know we added vocalist Erica Mata to our lineup recently, expanding us to 6 members again. Her addition has been so amazing for our versatility. Not only have I been able to concentrate more on my keyboard playing (as I don't sing nearly as much as I used to), but we're also performing (or planning to perform) songs that I wrote for a female vocalist (like "Contradiction", of Stash, and "It's True", off SQ).
Our guitarist, Elliot Mausner, is also contributing some of his originals to our repertoire. We're planning to host events where we have the ability to play longer sets so we can bring out some songs fans haven't heard for quite some time as well as add some of Elliot's pieces. In fact, I'm toying with the idea of giving our band several names, like "The Mellow Masons" (as in mason jar), so we can put on a different persona). If any of you guys have ideas for variations on the "Jars of Jam" name that we could use, I'd be happy to mention your name when we perform :-)
Finally, our "Jar Set" is coming together. It will be made up of a flash drive with remixed/remastered versions of our first 3 CDs as well as new songs. It's a "Jar Set" because the flash drive is embedded in to a cork that's the top of a small jar. I'll send links to photos once we have our prototype done.
If you've read this far, I thank you for being so devoted! :-D
Sincerely,
Victor Montequin
