 On the Second Friday of each month, Jeff Entin & Bob Blum will be in residence at the High Falls Cafe doing something we're calling the Friday Night Jams.
What does that mean, you may ask? Allow me to enlighten you... Jeff & Bob, who have been playing together since before the term Jam Band was coined, will be playing and hosting something a little more experimental than the usual fare. They'll be doing their usual unusual thing, but with a guest or two sitting in, not to play their usual stuff, but to see what happens through the magic of Jamming! So... every second Friday of each month they will be here, along with who knows who, sitting in with them, taking musical chances and casting their collective fates to the wind. 8PM! |

Brothers Kevin and Brian Collazo and their cousin Jason Vargas sing with the unity of family, while the players--blood brothers John Kaiteris (guitarist songwriter), Anthony Candullo (bass), Scotty Harper (sax), and Erik Perez (drums)--are as connected to the pulse as the front line is to the message.
