Hey – Bands take note: if you need a live recording of your band, or if you need a sound system for gigs or parties at venues big or small, give JIM FERRANTE a call. You can even rent a backline for special events. (Drums, PAs, amps, etc.) Jimmy is the owner of Stirling Audio Services, (and a great guitar player too). He has a 32+++ track Mac/Cubase 5 recording setup, and he can get it done for you. Demos, CD’s, whatever. He also has a warehouse full of audio systems ready for you to use anywhere – he’ll rent you a backline, or he’ll set up lights, sound, have a guy there to mix on the fly, and record it too!!! OR, anything in between. Contact him at 732-417-1001, or jimmy@stirlingaudioservices.com, www.stirlingaudioservices.com. Trust me on this one – he’ll get it done for you whether you’re in a small bar or a huge arena. I use him all the time!!! (Come to Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.) (Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)
For those of you who are on the left side of the river, Barry Hay is still turning out the listings for live gigs, etc out there. Go to www.hayblue.com to find out anything you could want to know about who/what/where in the Lehigh Valley!

Welcome to JAMO’S JAMS & GIGS for 8/12/10, issue #151.
Happy birthday Colleen!!!!! Congrats to Lenny Depiano – the newest member of Slackjaw!
Again, I’m sorry about the bad formatting in my last email – I tried to get the Reverbnation system to accept my changes, but they just wouldn’t work. I’ll try again this week.
[edit: We hasten to add that THE PR TEAM AT www.jamogigcentral.blogspot.com takes NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR this foul formatting disaster.... seriously... what WAS this guy thinkin'? :D
Now, PAY ATTENTION!!!]:
A job for each of you: get ONE person to sign up for this email. If you all do it, ‘specially if those people are listeners, maybe we’ll get some audiences for our live music!!! (Send ‘em to www.reverbnation.com/jamodrummer to sign up)
Again, shameless promotion time: Between now and 8/15, go to http://www.facebook.com/l/9596c;www.LehighValleyMusicAwards.org and nominate the JAMO BAND for whatever you can, (Best entertaining band, Best Live Blues Performance, Jam Band/Live Performance), Paul Berger for the best guitar player awards, Scott “Bone” Ward for the best bass player awards, and Marc Young for the Keyboard awards. We play in the Lehigh Valley every chance we get, but they’re never nominated. For Best Country Band/Live performance, give the Tracy Lee band a nod. At least get them onto the ballots!!! The actual voting will come later, but if they aren’t there, they can’t participate. Thanks!

If you have any trouble reading this thing, just go to http://jamogigcentral.blogspot.com/, and it will all be there. Marisa Chiara does that for me, and I really appreciate her help. If you meet her at one of our gigs, be sure to say Hi…
CAN’T STOP NOW still needs your votes: Please go http://www.cantstopnow.com/, click on the “Vote” image, then on the “Enter and Vote” image. That’s all it takes to help the band out!!!
Hey – Bands take note: if you need a live recording of your band, or if you need a sound system for gigs or parties at venues big or small, give JIM FERRANTE a call. You can even rent a backline for special events. (Drums, PAs, amps, etc.) Jimmy is the owner of Stirling Audio Services, (and a great guitar player too). He has a 32+++ track Mac/Cubase 5 recording setup, and he can get it done for you. Demos, CD’s, whatever. He also has a warehouse full of audio systems ready for you to use anywhere – he’ll rent you a backline, or he’ll set up lights, sound, have a guy there to mix on the fly, and record it too!!! OR, anything in between. Contact him at 732-417-1001, or jimmy@stirlingaudioservices.com, www.stirlingaudioservices.com. Trust me on this one – he’ll get it done for you whether you’re in a small bar or a huge arena. I use him all the time!!! (Come to Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.) (Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)
For those of you who are on the left side of the river, Barry Hay is still turning out the listings for live gigs, etc out there. Go to www.hayblue.com to find out anything you could want to know about who/what/where in the Lehigh Valley! (I know that Barry also does this on his own time, and has the same intentions that I do, so don’t hesitate.)

Hey – Bands take note: if you need a live recording of your
band, or if you need a sound system for gigs or parties at
venues big or small, give JIM FERRANTE a call. You can
even rent a backline for special events. (Drums, PAs, amps,
etc.) Jimmy is the owner of Stirling Audio Services, (and a
great guitar player too). He has a 32+++ track Mac/Cubase
5 recording setup, and he can get it done for you. Demos,
CD’s, whatever. He also has a warehouse full of audio
systems ready for you to use anywhere – he’ll rent you a
backline, or he’ll set up lights, sound, have a guy there to
mix on the fly, and record it too!!! OR, anything in between. Contact him at 732-417-1001, or jimmy@stirlingaudioservices.com, www.stirlingaudioservices.com. Trust me on this one – he’ll get it done for you whether
you’re in a small bar or a huge arena. I use him all the time!!!
(Come to Franky & Johnny’s to see/hear what I mean.)
(Obviously he can make ANYONE sound good!!!)
