JAMMSAMMICH! We have always been careful to not refer to ourselves as the “best” band in our neck of the woods. We are confident that we are surrounded (and inspired) by far-superior musicians. Many of them are our friends. However, there is something about the combination–the mindset–of the members of JammSammich that makes the band special. We are committed to the eternally packed dancefloor and to the ultimate good time. Our songlist is tailored to guarantee an “I-can’t-believe-they-played-that-song” reaction every time and is scientifically proven to cause uncontrollable shaking of the booty. 8 years strong, JammSammich is enjoying what seems to be an ever-peaking run in the crowded Central Illinois music scene. It should come to no surprise that the readers of the River City Times voted JammSammich “Peoria’s favorite band” in 2004, 2005, 2006 and that the band continues to enjoy record crowds at Central Illinois’ most renowned venues and headlining slots at prestigious festivals and events. The formula of groove-driven funk and R&B, retro 80’s tunes, island jams, and liberal doses of comedy has proven to be one of the most potent in the last decade and, in the spirit of flattery, has become an imitated commodity. The versatile Sammich songlist means that the band is perfect for EVERY event, whether it be a dance, wedding reception, private party, club date, festival, etc. With tunes from 4 decades, including Motown, disco, funk, hip-hop, retro 80’s, Buffett, and rock, Sammich is the TRUE variety band–there REALLY is something for everyone. Guaranteed Party. Every Time. It’s science, Holmes.
