Memphis Jam

The Memphis Jam

The March 1st show represents the 10th appearance by the Memphis Jam at the Aeolian Music Hall. 

Many people cite Memphis Tennessee as the birthplace of contemporary forms of music.  Inspired by early Memphis artists, and later artists significantly influenced by the Memphis music scene, the Memphis Jam plays a range of memorable, upbeat rock n roll, funk, and blues classics.  The band will also play a number of songs off of its soon to be released album titled “Love and Politics – Part I”. 

The Memphis Jam, founded by Gary Lima (lead guitar and vocals) and Jeff Wright (vocals and guitar) is rounded out by Paul Fleury (bass and vocals), and Steve Malison (keyboards, sax, guitar and vocals).  Sitting in on drums is Miguel Thompson.  Lima toured with and/or backed such artists as: Frankie Venom of “Teenage Head”; John Mellencamp; Billy Idol; and Stevie Ray Vaughan.  Fleury played in popular regional bands “Sugarfoot” and “Raising Kane” and Malison was a former member of the now infamous band “Player”. Thompson currently backs a number of popular emerging Canadian artists including King Cruff, Jag Hulligan, and Sarina Haggarty.

Come out and be prepared to rock the night away!  All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Fanshawe College United Way Campaign.
