Join Jumptown for an evening of swinging blues, funk and soul. This dynamic combo rocks the house with exciting American R&B music, including material by such greats as B.B. King, Little Milton Campbell, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Albert King, Ray Charles, Eddie Floyd, Freddie King, and Wilson Pickett. Searing solos and sparkling section work from sax man Carl Disque and trumpeter Mark Rippe will make even the most jaded blues enthusiast take notice. On the keys, Keith Garrison tears it up with his "barrel house" piano and Hammond B3 stylings. Tim Perrot's guitar smolders on slow burning ballads and smokes on up-tempo scorchers.
Christian Mercker lends an urgency to the vocals with a power that cannot be denied. The rock-solid rhythm section of Dick "Hutch" Hutchison on bass and Nick Schrenk on drums drive the band with grooves that swing hard and rock steady. Make your reservation to spend an evening with Jumptown right away. They'll provide you with an unforgettable entertainment experience!

We'll send you a message when it's all ready.
God bless you!!! Have a wonderful 2009!!!
KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!
Ciao Jumptown ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.
Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.
Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.
Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?
Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo. Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano. Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.
Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.
Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.
Felice Anno Nuovo. Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie. Suonate il blues più che potete!
In search of the Merker man. He seems to have disapeared out of site, like a 1961 Chevvy 2 ton truck full of muck sliding down a valley into the lost creek!Ha!....Hope u guys are good! Have a good holiday! Dave Pep.
