JSJBF Monthly Membership Meetings

All JSJBF Members and prospective members are welcome!

If you want JSJBF to know WHO YOU ARE and that you're looking for work, this is the best way you can make your availability and skills known. You also can network with other artists and potentially venue owners that can help you out. This is one of the single most important things you can do to market your group (and you can have a great night out)!

Meetings are scheduled for the third Wednesday of the month....
See you there.

This month's music will be by: The Jennifer Jordan Band

  • Vinnie Puryear - Bass, guitar, background vocals
  • Kendall Scott - Keyboards, guitar, background vocals
  • Alex D'Agnese - Drums

Jennifer Jordan's musical history begins when she was a child. Singing since she can remember, her younger years were classically focused, both vocally and on the piano, with active involvement in musical theatre and renowned choral ensembles. She majored in music at James Madison University, and didn't change her focus until introduced to the blues in 1996. At that time she was introduced to a genre that she lived all her life, and was thrilled to now have the opportunity to sing it. Jennifer has hit the stage with many legends, sharing the microphone with Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor and Johnnie Bassett. Fans say her performances are moving, as her powerful voice booms to the heavens. She has been favorably compared to the greats Koko Taylor, Etta James and Janis Joplin. Jennifer has been nominated five times for the Asbury Music Awards as the "Top Female Vocalist". She maintained the same band, Terraplane Blues, for eleven years, co-produced the band's two CDs, and co-wrote most of the original material.

If you like blues, R&B, or classic rock, you owe it to yourself to catch Jennifer Wright. Jennifer is a Bessie Smith/Janis Joplin incarnate, I was overwhelmed by the power of her voice, yet remaining sensitive. Her phrasing is impeccable, and she can wrap her voice around every listener in the room…she could have been successful in any genre of music. Jen is a mixture of grit and sensitivity. …Ruth Brown, an influential rock pioneer, actually got to hear Jen, at a sold-out show in Memphis, sing her song Mama, He Treat Your Daughter Mean live by telephone. Later that year, Ruth honored Jen by dedicating a song to her at The Blue Note.   Jerry Pashin ~ Upstage Magazine
