w/ Salomon Faye & No Comply
JAM is excited to welcome the weekend with the Rooks, Salomon Faye and No Comply. We'll have a mix of soul, hip-hop and rap from people who don't subscribe to boxes. So come spend part of your weekend with JAM!
The Rooks //
"If you ask The Rooks about the origin of their sound, chances are they’ll concoct a tale of Frank Ocean, J Dilla, and the Talking Heads getting drunk at a dive bar in the year 2023, while Justin Vernon waits in the car to drive everyone home. Push them to be a little more specific (and a little less confusing), and they’ll tell you that The Rooks are equal parts kick-back, head-knock, and get-down; the music you rock to at the party, and the perfect soundtrack for the ride home." - http://www.therooksband.com/
The band, who met at Wesleyan University released their second EP, "Wires" in 2015 on Afropunk.
