News and Notes
The
The Sunday Jam is now located at the Salisbury Fire
Company Social Hall, 1226 Marlow Street, Allentown, Pa.
If you are looking to
see and hear great Blues music, that is not necessarily with an established
band. Just music that comes from the
heart and preformed, by players who want to do their best to please you, and a
place you might find a future Blues Star.
One of our local blues jams might be your answer.
