The Jam Society was founded in January 2007, when founding members Amir Edwards and Ari Teitel, both 12 at the time, decided to form a band to play at the Motown Winter Blast. Amir recruited his friend Derek Johnson on bass to makeup the latest lineup of the band.
The Jam Society plays an eclectic blend of music, ranging from their originals, which can be anything from folk to fusion, to their unique covers.
The band has appeared at the nation's premiere music festival, Rothbury, along with the Crofoot, Arts Beats & Eats, the Comerica City Fest, and the Motown Winter Blast. The band has won numerous awards. The band released their debut EP, titled "The Anthology". It's available on iTunes for $4.95. They plan on going into the studio again soon.
On drums, 15 year old Amir Edwards provides the backbone to the band. He innovates the band with his talent and unique rhythms. For his young age, he is a veteran drummer and an outstanding lead and backup vocalist. Amir will amaze you with his energy on stage.
On bass, 18 year old Derek Johnson completes the rhythm section. Derek has been performing professionally for over 10 years! Being a veteran, Derek really knows how to hold down the grooves, especially since he has played drums for almost 15 years in addition to the bass guitar. Derek will stun you with his talent.
On guitar, 15 year old guitarist Ari Teitel gives the band the high end of the sound spectrum. He navigates the fretboard with precision and soul. He shares songwriting and lead vocal duties with Amir and he is known to write lyrics about interesting subject matter.
Mr. Teitel will definitely surprise you with his playing.
"For a fairly new band they play like they've been together for a long time." -Detroit Jam Bands Examiner
