Jammers \ `jam-ers\ n 1 : A bunch of guys getting together to have fun and play music.
Click on a band member's photo above to read more about them.
In addition to the salaried positions listed above, we hire out for additional expertise.
Tommy Giarratano, classically trained guitarist, but oh so versatile. Veteran Jammer Tommy makes a smooth transition from acoustic guitar to bass when sitting in with us. For our Cowboy's Dream CD he wrote and performed two solo tracks. Aside from the Jammers, Tommy writes, plays and records his Fingerstyle and Classical guitar music. He just released his first CD entitled A Gift In The Night. Go Tommy! Drop us a note if you'd like more information about Tommy's CD or write directly to Tommy at TomeeGee@aol.com
Jim Carpenter, acoustic guitar, mandolin, drums and vocals. We owe many thanks to Jim for many things. He shared all of his above talents with us on our Cowboy's Dream CD and even shot the great photography on this Website. Several of the tracks were recorded by Jim at his studio in East Lyme, Connecticut, Loco Dare In House. As far as his own career, Jim is a successful solo musician and is in the process of releasing his first CD. He's also involved in several other recording projects to be released this year. Please visit Jim's Website for more information about any of these endeavors and more, (yes, there's more believe it or not).

Bill Light, guitarist, electric guitar and electric slide guitar. Another generous donor on our Cowboy's Dream CD. Bill plays guitar like ringin' a bell, guinness book of records for most notes per second. Billy's a Southern Rocker and eats up the Jammer's vintage Martin guitars.
Jay Dempsey (a.k.a. Shorty Kellams), great, great singer, guitarist, and golfer. The real Macoy. Jay and Geoff go back almost as far as Mick and Keith. Jay can play the congas, but it's his short game that's worth the price of admission.
Vince Thompson (a.k.a. Ned Perkins, long lost son of Marlin Perkins), vocals and guitar. Vince has the voice, older brother Curt has the beard. When Vince is there, you get Everly Brothers meets Monroe Brothers.
Steve Jakebelski, vocals and guitar, has played in bands with Mike and Curt, and is always a crowd favorite.
(We love to see these guys show up so some of us can get a beer.)
