Jam-Bone is a jam band with roots in traditional rock ‘n roll and blues. It’s that simple. Three accomplished musicians, each with over 25 years experience, who share a profound love for the groove, spirit and art of improvisation have finally found a place to call home. That place is Jam-Bone.
At a typical Jam-Bone show you will hear music drawn from a diverse range of musical influences, and performed with a musical agility that seems as effortless as it is inspirational. These musicians have taken the concept of “cover band” and transformed the not-so-typical cover song into an exploration of artistic freedom and expression. Jam-Bone also performs original material primarily written by Steve & Rich but John’s creative arrangements finish off the songs to make them truly Jam-Bone originals.
RICH PLUMPTON (GUITAR AND VOCALS). Rich brings an extraordinary range of musical experiences to Jam-Bone with his innovative guitar work and Garcia-like vocals. A never ending source of energy, Rich inspires the band with a “just gotta play” attitude and a fearless knack for tackling the unexpected. Musical influences include Jerry Garcia, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour.
STEVE K (BASS AND VOCALS). An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Steve sings and is the bass player for Jam-Bone – but a bass player with a twist. Steve plays a Conklin 7-string bass, which allows him to essentially double as a rhythm guitar player and a bass player, giving a robust punch to rhythmic foundation of the band. As a guitarist, bass player and songwriter, Steve draws his inspiration from a diverse mix including; The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Geddy Lee, Phish, Grateful Dead, Les Claypool, Vic Wooten, and U2. Steve is a featured artist on the Conklin guitars website - check out his info at http://www.conklinguitars.com/artistprofiles/kirchuk.html
JOHN CERMENARO (DRUMS). John’s rock solid, in-the-pocket drumming is the rhythmic backbone of the band. His open playing style gives life to the improvisational aspect of what Jam-Bone does and makes every song bounce with a joyful exuberance that keeps the audience dancing. With influences such as Little Feat, Allman Brothers, and NRBQ, John has developed a style that allows him to easily navigate musical genres from reggae and jazz to New Orleans funk and flat out rock.
