1580 KGAL and 920 KSHO are proud to team with the Philomath Chamber of Commerce to Present the Philomath Blues and Jazz Jam.
Lloyd Jones to Headline the Philomath Blues ‘n Jazz Jam Concert This concert is an annual event put on by the Philomath Oregon Chamber of Commerce (www.philomathchamber.org) as a chamber fundraiser.
The 2004 Philomath Blues ‘n Jazz Jam will feature Lloyd Jones as their headliner on August 15, at Mary’s River Park. The program is considered a “Sunday Afternoon Concert in Mary’s River Park”. Lloyd Jones is a consummate guitarist/singer/songwriter/arranger/performer/bandleader. He is one of the most original artists on the present day blues scene. Jones is, in the words of Blues Revue, “certainly worth of greater recognition”
	Lloyd Jones is an exhilarating performer and a huge crowd pleaser. His music and its presentation are called “electrifying and unleashed”. His songs and their renditions have a unique quality that gives them a sound like they have been around for years as blues standards or have fallen out of a time warp from the golden days of R&B. His music is in a distinctive style that is some of the funkiest horn-rhythm-organ arrangements. His guitar approach is both economical and rhythmically sophisticated in a style that is delicate and devastating. His presentation of music is captivating and beguiling. It integrates sounds assured to set an audience to get up and start dancing on the grass.
Jones describes his music, as soulful, an intelligent infusion of funk, blues and R&B as story-telling with a Memphis groove. Experience Lloyd Jones live at the Philomath Blues ‘n Jazz Jam and you’ll know why he’s “Gotcha”!

Jerry Zybach and the Stage Hogs to at the Philomath Blues ‘n Jazz Jam
	Jerry Zybach and the Stage Hogs will perform at Philomath’s Blues ‘n Jazz Jam August 15 at Mary’s River Park. The Stage Hogs are a mix of four seasoned musicians who form a high-energy, versatile, unbelievable tight blues band. The high competence of these performers shows the excitement that can happen when four extremely talented, and unselfish performers get together. A magic happens at Philomath’s Blues :n Jazz Jam!
Their play list is limitless, ranging from old standards to modern blues and the world in-between. Each member has individual musical proficiency with styles of music that it affords them the confidence to step out of their personal comfort zones, play off one another while pushing back the limits. Classically trained, Jerry Zybach’s big, rich voice will surprise the audience. He has developed his own style. His range, depth and versatility, gives the heart and soul that thunders with the sheer volume. When he belts our renditions of classic like “Don’t Touch Me Baby,” you know the meaning of the term “Blue Eyed Soul”. He carries a worn travel full case of original songs inspired by many genres, including a simple toe-taper “Daddy Do” ( a song guaranteed to run around in your mind begging ‘Where did I hear that before?”) Listening to his refreshingly haunting songs, “Oh Mary and “Lock and Key”, you’ll wonder, where has this group of talent been hiding? Observe the magical flow between Zybach and Clark as they trade leads on tunes like “Reconsider” and “Boot Hill.” Listening to them, there is nothing average about this band. Musically, they are as tight as a drum. Find their newly recorded CD “StageHogs”, and be set for a musical treat.
