shirlJAM news...
(HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all! 2021 was another INSANE year...between Covid concerns (oh yeah, and actually getting the danged virus in spite of being fully vacced!) and nearly losing our home to the vile and ruthless Caldor Fire...I'm perfectly happy to see it fade away in the rearview. But along with all the bad, there were many, many joyful musical moments! Super fun gigs at some exciting new places (new to me, at least!), as well as some fave joints I was thrilled to return to; and some truly memorable private parties in all shapes and sizes. Mike and I are really excited about the year ahead, and ready to take this little act of ours to an ever-expanding audience and area. You'd better pay attention, cuz I'm going to be popping up in some extremely fun spots!! (Stay tuned...)
What do you think of that black and purple graphic displayed here? Welcoming ideas and suggestions (and submissions!) for a new logo. Please share any thoughts you might have about what a shirlJAM logo should look like. I'd truly love to hear them! Reach out to me in the usual ways... and thank you!! sJ

FUN FACT: Poor Red's BBQ, that unapologetically funky joint in the sleepy little town of El Dorado, sells more Galliano (the liquer that goes into their famous Golden Cadillac cocktail) than any other restaurant...in the entire world! Holy cow! (Oh yeah, they make Brown Cows, too!)

Excerpts from recent testimonials:
"shirJAM has been a tried and true crowd-pleaser at Sierra Vista Winery for the last few years. We've featured her at our annual Lobster Fest, and she always gets the crowd dancing and singing along. Shirley has a broad repertoire and she brings her great energy, smile, warmth, and amazing voice to each song. We love her and look forward to having her back again!"
