Since 2010, Decades(opens in new window) (based in Chico, CA) has been working (and rocking) around the clock to learn material spanning from the 1950's (Dion’s “Runaround Sue”) to today (Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk"). The band has played 1,000+ shows all along the West Coast, earning its place as one of California's most in-demand bands. Throughout a single show, they'll swap between several instruments (including saxophone, harmonica, penny whistle, accordion, and trumpet to name a few) and belt out four-part harmonies, showcasing each member's musical versatility, while continuing to put on a highly energetic live show.
Decades' impressive catalog, mixed with its young talents (ages 26-35), has led to numerous achievements and highlights. Some notable performances include playing Lake Tahoe’s Outdoor Arena, AT&T Park and Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, several fundraisers for the Oakland Raiders, the Hawaiian islands for 5 consecutive years, opening for both Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles and The Drifters, and up and coming country star, Tim Duggar. Decades have recorded three albums, two of which were recorded with Grammy-nominated producer, Sylvia Massy (Prince, Johnny Cash, Tool). According to Bob Littell, former entertainment director of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, "This is the hardest working band in town."
JAMM was born in 2018 out of the small Northern California college town of Chico, CA. Starting in a garage within the Nord Garden Townhome complex, JAMM made their way around the Chico State house party scene, playing as many backyards, living rooms, and porches as they could. After 4 years, in 2022 JAMM relocated to San Diego, CA where they have enjoyed immense growth and have been consistently gigging and releasing new music. Their distinct, genreless sound has brought ears from all different scenes to listen and enjoy!
