JammSammich Concert
JammSammich Concert

Back on the RiverFront in 2016 is a Peoria and Central Illinois favorite: Jammsammich! 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. 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. You won’t want to miss a night packed with all of your favorite tunes performed by the one and only Jammsammich!

CEFCU Center Stage @ The Landing, gates open 7:30PM, show: 8:30PM

Admission: $7
For more information, please visit Jammsammich’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/JammSammich/info
