Jimmie’s Chicken Shack and jamblr Collide

Last week before the FMF parties and showcases began, jamblr hosted a pre-party sponsored by Budweiser, Rock For Hunger and Rock Pink at Central Station’s Rock Bar in Downtown Orlando. There was live music by local acoustic pop-rock act Dagnese and a battle of the bands beer pong tournament.

Also in attendance was 90’s rock stars Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. They came by to sign-up for jamblr and sign a few posters before their big sold-out show at AKA Lounge next door.

Here are a few photos from the night!

See ya next time!

KG and the Band | The Backbone of jamblr

Last Saturday night, May 2nd I was at Backbooth in Downtown Orlando checking out an amazing local band and good friends of mine. The band was KG and the Band.

Greg, why are you talking about a local band?

KG and the Band isn’t your typical local band. For years now, KG has been the center piece of a rotating band of talented musicians. New guitar players and fill in keys. Rent a saxophonists, one-off drummers. Even now that his roster is stable, he has composed great talent from all types of geographic backgrounds and ethnicities.

Through all the constant roster changes, the music has spoken louder than the players and broken through your typical local band tunes.

Jamblr was created for just this type of environment.

For musicians that see the bigger picture, but need help putting the pieces together. A talented song writer and entertainer like KG can throw up a melody and some rough vocals and let musicians from across the world add pieces to his musical puzzle. When KG feels the track is complete, he can close it up and split the songs writes with all the contributing artists.

Virtual bands and musical collaborations are just one side of jamblr, but it plays a huge part in our inspiration. All 5 of us jamblr’s have been associated with bands, needed inspiration and vision for our music and set out to find great, new talent.

As the jamblr journey begins, we are looking for KG’s across the globe to connect with and make their art become reality. It’s very exciting for us to see their dreams start to be realized.

KG currently has a steady crew backing his Kenyan rock and world beat music and is taking his show on the road. Be sure to check him out a venue near you. Below is his current show schedule:

May 11th | The Social | Donald Johnson Benefit | Orlando, FL
July 5th | The Social with Laura Reedand some hip-hop artist named G-Ro | Orlando, FL
July 18th | Dunedin Brewery | Dunedin, FL

Welcome to the Jamblr Blog

Hello world. That’s what you’re supposed to say right?

Fortunate for the creative type, we don’t encourage the ordinary here at Jamblr. Jamblr was created with the mentality that we want to push the limits of Music, Film, Photos, Writing and more. Our complete vision revolves around the fact that as more people are added to the mix, the better a project becomes.

Everything on Jamblr starts with an idea. This post started with an idea. I wanted to talk a little about Jamblr, and why we are here. I then talked to my compadres in Jamblr and got their ideas. That spawned into the video that is now on the blog homepage.

Great songs are often written when one great riff or melody is written or recorded. When other players and musicians are brought into the fold it becomes a masterpiece, or a better work of art.

Movies are made with producers, directors, actors, casting crew, sound, lighting and the whole nine yards to make something that is pleasantly delightful to the eyes.

Even home builders and architects have a team that collaborates and uses their creativity into how they are going to plan a home or commercial site before construction.

That’s what Jamblr is all about. Through the next few weeks as we ready the site for a private, and then a public launch, we are going to be giving off some great “ideas” to spark your creativity. There are 5 voices in Jamblr and you are going to meet everyone of them.

We encourage you to share your thoughts, opinions, praise and even tell us when we’re full of it. It’s only going to make us better as a team and our site better for you the user!

So, without further ado; welcome to the Jamblr Blog!

-Greg Rollett (the marketing guy)
