Jam Pak Blues ‘N Grass
Youth Blues and Bluegrass Performing Saturday and Sunday 10 AM - 11 AM With twenty-eight years performing and teaching in the bluegrass world of Arizona, many folks know the story of Jam Pak. Somehow, some way, enfolded in the love of music, community, food, travel, and love itself, this unique band of all ages, races, and walks of life makes bluegrass music. In the home of Anni Beach of Chandler, they teach each other, gather twice a week, practice, dance, entertain, and at the center, maintain the singular goal to make themselves and others happy with their music. The band is ever grateful for the wonderful venues, the donations of instruments and other needs, and the constant encouragement from the bluegrass community of Arizona.

Their debut performance at Tempe Festival of the Arts for “The Bluegrass Experience with Jam Pak” gave them their first taste of making people and especially their kids really happy with their music in 2022. It is super fun to hear them sing and play and to see their children all gathered around to be the encouragers. They join Cisco and the Racecars, Cabin John, Fair Black Rose, The Would Bees, 603, Blue Genes, and all Jam Pak to make a whole lot of people happy with Bluegrass and good old tunes at festivals, community events, and Beach House Reviews.
