shirlJAM news
THE YEAR IN REVIEW... Wow, what a year 2022 has been for Mike and I! This little shirlJAM project of ours has taken on a life of it's own, thanks to the great support and warm reception we've received from friends, followers, and outright fans (or, Jammers, as we call them!). It's been a year of growth that has exceeded our wildest expectations. Some firsts for the year include the introduction of some fun new "themed" shows; debuts at some super cool new (to us) venues; road gigs; festival and fundraiser appearances; and of course, that wacky fog machine! And on top of that, the continued good vibes from playing at some of our fave spots from last year, too! What's in store for 2023? Stay tuned...and strap in! |
On Friday, December 23, from 4:00 till 7:00 pm, I'll be bringing on the holiday spirit with fun music (and festive attire, mayhaps?) at the one and only HWY 50 BREWERY in Camino. Last show of the year, people! Let's get merry! Join me for an evening of great tunes, fresh yummy beer, and good times with good folks.
HWY 50 BREWERY 3544 Carson Road, Camino www.hwy50brewery.com |

Excerpts from recent testimonials:
"Shirley (shirlJAM) was such a treat to have at the winery! She has a wide range of music that appeals to all guests and was very engaged with the audience. It was such a great touch to see her interact with the crowd. She went to every table to make sure they felt welcome and were enjoying themselves. We highly recommend her for any event that you may have, large or small!"

"We booked Shirley for a three hour set and she did not disappoint! She truly knows how to play for the crowd. Her soulful voice captivated, and her vast range of music had something for everyone.
