One Jam Packed Summer
august 20, 2008
Thanks to all who came out to Greenstock and supported this event. We had a great time and were able to raise awareness for a noteworthy cause. JG's set was highlighted by Teddy from Shaggy Wonda joining us on the saxophone for a sit-in on our version of Kool and the Gang's 'Jungle Boogie.' We have a ton of great shows coming up, as this is turning out to be our busiest summer yet!
On August 23rd JG will be performing down in Noblesville, IN @ Green Acres Campground (right down the road from Deer Creek) for a festival called 'Melonkamp.' Melonkamp will kick off on Friday, August 22nd w/ Chester Brown and Groovatron. JG will perform @ 3:00p on Saturday afternoon. The lineup is stacked full of great acts such as Mr.Blotto, 56 Hope Road, Pnuma Trio and several others. Camping is provided, as this is a 3 day event you won't want to miss! Please check the festival website: http://melonkamp.com/Home_Page.html
Since we have a built in crowd down in Indianapolis and want to show the love, we have decided to throw an 'INDY cd release party' to get the word out about 'Upstroke.' Join us for another celebration as we introduce the album to Indianapolis @ The Mousetrap! JG will begin performing around 10p on Saturday, August 30th. Join us for a FREE SHOW at one of our favorite and most supportive venues.
Checking out Umphrey's McGee at St.Pat's park in South Bend September 5th?? Join Jassy Grazz and Escherbach for the after party at The Mishawaka Brewing Company just miles down the road! Remember the light show when we did the after party last year w/ U-Melt? We'll be having that back again to add to this special event. We're very excited to be back at The Brew Co. and to have Escherbach out with us for the first time! This party will go late into the night with an amazing light show! On top of that, great music + great tasting microbrews = one good time! Print out the directions provided here - can't wait to see you all there!
Jassy Grazz headlining Greenstock
July 31, 2008
Jassy Grazz will headline the 4th annual music festival at Valley Branch Retreat that has been renamed "GREENSTOCK" to better reflect their mission. Greenstock will be held during the weekend of August 8th-10th, 2008. Their vision is a long-term, annual festival in the heart of Brown County (directly east of Brown County State Park - Nashville, Indiana) that encompasses a mixture of various musical performances, sporting activities, various cultural outdoor events and green awareness. Valley Branch Retreat rests on 500 secluded acres that has virtually been untouched by the general public, while being home to a very low-key hiking, mountain biking and paintball scene. If you've heard of Paintball Valley... this is the place. Valley Branch Retreat, WJAA, Concentric Management Systems, Primo Sound Productions, Carter-Lee Lumber and Jode Solutions have teamed up to bring you the best in regional music and Midwest outdoor adventure. Unlike some of the larger festivals, they have chosen a more intimate approach for this premier Indiana festival. Check this link for complete details: http://www.jodesolutions.com/greenstockfest/index.htm Jassy Grazz will perform on Saturday night @ 9p. Some of the region's best musical acts will be performing here...We are very excited to be a part of this and hope to see you there!
Jassy Grazz celebrates 10 year anniversary
July 14, 2008
Hard to believe it's been 10 years, but it's true! Feature writer Andy Hughes from the South Bend Tribune was nice enough to come out and interview Jassy Grazz to chronicle some of the highlights as well as some of the lows we've experienced for the past decade. What resulted was a candid and rare interview that ended up making for a nice article....You can click this link for the actual article and some video footage from the record release party.
This may only be available for view for a couple of days, then a small fee will apply. We will be commemorating our 10 yr anniversary at Martha's Midway on Friday, July 18th. We will also do another commemorative type show down in Indy next month as well. Other than that, be sure to check JG's first show out at 'The Verve' down in Terre Haute on Saturday, July 26th.
