Jounce, Friday, January 22, 9:00 pm – 12:00 am

Jounce is a great melodic band from NJ that mixes covers and originals and mixing their own stew of indie rock and funk set within an environment conducive to improvisation.  Popular throughout the New York City and New Jersey area, the band features Danny Tamberelli on bass, who is well known from acting gigs like Pete and Pete on Nickelodeon and his child actor appearance in Disney’s the Mighty Ducks.  They  have been doing well developing their NYC following at places like the Mercury Lounge and in New England surrounding their former home of Amherst / Northampton, and in the upper south in places like Virginia and the Carolinas where some of the band went to college (James Madison U) and through festival plays in those regions.
