Cookies, an Album, and a Brand New Gig

Is it just me, or has it been, like, 10 months since we've seen you guys?

"10 months!?" you declare, "that is UNACCEPTABLE.  Where the hell have you been J-Town??

First, allow me to appease you with a photo of this cookie from B.E. Sweet Treats.

Second, check out our recently released album, After the Flood.

You can download the album online, or come pick up a CD from us at our next gig!

So, there you have it folks.  We've been hard at work making this album, containing nine J•Town originals and one cover song.  Then we were hard at work trying to plan our next gig.  Given recent permit limitations the City of Santa Barbara has imposed on venues, that endeavor proved to be quite a challenge as well.

BUT, we're pleased to announce that Oreana Winery has reopened their patio to music and wine on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  So, go enjoy this weather with our friends over there, and be sure to make J•Town's 2012 Oreana Debut on Sunday, September 16!

It feels good to be back.  We'll see you out there!

Wine, Music, and General Awesomeness

Yesterday was yet another fabulous gig at Oreana Winery. This place never disappoints...and either do you! Thanks for always showing up, we are humbled by our following!

Right now we don't have any gigs scheduled as September has been a challenging month for coordinating our schedules. We will, of course, keep you posted and in the meantime we'd love to hear your suggestions for other venues to play at!

Once again, our heartfelt thanks for joining us yesterday. We play the music, but you guys rock!

Best. Show. Ever.

Last month, on the beautifully perfect Saturday that was July 16, J•Town rocked a house overflowing in both patrons and wine at Oreana Winery. It was, by far, the most fun I think we've had to date as a band.

We LOVE this venue. Always met with sunshine, good people, and an environment suited for both family and friends. That's why we're excited to be headed back there at the end of the month, on Sunday, August 28th.

Care to join us? We hope so!!

Two Shows Next Week!

Summer is in full effect, and we've been soaking it in lately on the stage at Oreana Winery down on Yananoli and Anacapa Streets. In fact, J•Town was the first band to "christen" the brand new stage last month (we are honored in that claim to fame).

Needless to say, we're excited to be heading back up on that stage (now with a fresh coat of paint and a railing) next Saturday, July 16 from 2 - 5pm. Come on down and join us at Oreana, 205 Anacapa Street. This event is free (thought we highly recommend wine tasting).

Also next week, we are privelaged to provide the entertainment for the Santa Barbara Young Professional's Club July Mixer, located at 209 Anacapa Street. Yes, it's a coincidence that this venue is right next door to Oreana Winery, but makes it real easy for you to find us! Please join us next Wednesday, July 13 from 5:30 - 7:30pm at CrossFit Pacific Coast. This event is free for SBYPC members and $10 for guests.

Happy summer everyone. We hope you're enjoying this sunshine as much as we are!

Easter Saturday and Backup Dancers

We were thoroughly impressed by the awesome turnout at Red's on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who made it out for some Easter Saturday music!

In case you missed it, seems as though J•Town has a growing fan club of dancers:


What a fun gig. Thanks again...see you at Oreana in May!

Oh, and don't forget to use the form on the right to sign up for our mailing list and be notified of other upcoming events and shows.

Cold Spring Recap and Upcoming Shows

We'd like to extend a special thank you to our friends of King Bee for having us play a special set at Cold Spring last weekend. And a special, uber Thank-You goes out to Robbie Fair who joined us on stage with some sweet-ass lead guitar. For those of you who may not know, Joel plays keyboard for King Bee...we highly recommend checking them out some time. What a blast! Congrats to King Bee and their 10 years together!

And, with that, we have a couple of new shows to announce:

Saturday, 3/23/11 at Red's Wine Bar
J•Town and some of our friends will be performing from 4-8pm.

Sunday, 5/22/11 at Oreana Winery
J•Town, sunshine (hopefully) and wine from 2-5pm. It doesn't get any better than this folks.

We're looking forward to seeing you all again very soon!
