  • Members

    .. .. ..GEOFF CORKHILL.. rhythmist, director, singer, songwriter and band cook........ ....DANNY RAVENELLE.. guitar, banjo, dobro (and most anything else you give him)........ ....CURTISS THOMPSON.. singer, songwriter, guitar, mandolin and Honored Keeper of the Cool Ones........... ..MIKE PALAZZOLO.. bass, ideas, esoteric conversation, high lonesome harmony and weird arrangements....and.... ........Jammer-in-absentia .. .... .......... our good friend, spiritual adviser and harmonicist extraordinaire. .......... ...... The name was obvious..........Comprised of old friends who happen to all be seasoned musicians thanks to a deep-rooted love of honest music, the Village Jammers have been gathering to play their unique blend of "bluegrass/country/jazz/rock/blues/folk/rockabilly (insert any style of music here)" for more than thirty years. ....Part bluegrass band, part comedy troupe, part working-class Joes…together, a century of collective experience on stringed instruments, witty stage sarcasm and good ol’ boy beer connoiseurship, the Jammers were born from an open invite of friends gathering to play any style of music they knew, and the result was a long-term friendship and a lot of terrific music. ....They started as the house band at the now defunct Village Pub in Stonington Borough, Connecticut, and while packing the house, began the generous practice of inviting fellow musicians----some good, some dying trying----to share their stage. The band was infectious with its own brand of ridiculous humor, costumes, and special guests..... "It's been said that a Village Jammers practice session is much more than just chords and tunings; you get a healthy dose of political debate, blue-collar beer bottles, beef jerky, ball-busting, and oh yeah, some pretty good music too." (Dan Sikorsky, SoundWaves Magazine).... The band's knack for encouraging their growing circle of musician friends to join them for jam sessions and gigs; talented musicians like Jay Dempsey, Jim Carpenter, Tommy Giarratano, Vince Thompson, Bill Light, and Steve Jakubielski, makes the Village Jammers as much a family as they are a band. Founding member and harmonica extraordinaire Rene Brisson, who sadly passed away in 2000, still retains an honorary seat in the jam circle each session. ....Whether it's the friendship bond that makes the music sound so good or the great musicianship that makes the friendships so strong, the bottom line is each musician brings a variety of influences to the table, comprising the Village Jammers' family signature sound.......
