Jam In Jubilee Is Jam Packed With Talent
Saturday, June 26th, 2010
Click here for the facebook group.
Abbotsford, BC - Every Thurs evening from July 8 to Aug 12, Jubilee Park will be the scene of great local independent music performers including local stars The Magician and the Gates of Love (TMATGOL), Oh No! Yoko (ON!Y) and You Say Party! (YSP!).
___________________________________________________________________________
Just go ahead and google the phrase “you say party” and you will find a plethora of positive content for the dance-punk group called YSP! Hailing from Abbotsford and even still living in town, YSP! has had appearances on CBC Radio One’s The Q, MTV Canada, National Post, Abby News, Exclaim and so much more. They have also toured the world spreading the positive vibes that Abbotsford has to offer and YSP! has made the long list for the Polaris Music Prize.
On a more sombre note, you will also find nuggets of less rad news such as the recent loss of Devon Clifford who who is no longer with us. The reappearance by YSP! at Jam In Jubilee will be as Devon would have wanted it to be, which is the continuance of YSP! albeit with a slightly altered name.
YSP! will be performing at the Jam In Jubilee on Thurs, July 29 at 9 p.m. Click here for a link to the facebook event.

Oh No! Yoko (ON!Y)
ON!Y is gaining notoriety in the lower mainland from exposure on CBC Radio One’s program On The Coast (click here); at the performing arts festival Music Waste in Vancouver; in Discorder Magazine (UBC’s campus radio magazine); and within the local media.
One of the raddest things about the fine lads of ON!Y is that they are nearing their graduation from highschool. It will be quite the triggering moment for the already blossoming music careers of ON!Y. So we all should keep our eyes peeled for the many accomplishments to come from ON!Y.
Catch ON!Y live at Jam In Jubilee on the final Thursday night, Aug 12 at 9 p.m. Click here for the facebook event.

Help Sponsor the Jam In Jubilee
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010
Later this summer local artists will be performing at the Jam In Jubilee concert series which will take place Thursday nights from July 8 to August 12, 2010 in Jubilee Park on McCallum Road. The mission of the Jam In Jubilee is to “help to create awareness of Abbotsford’s arts community” and this project is managed by a dedicated group of volunteers.
In addition to planning the Jam In Jubilee, these volunteers have a website and a facebook group. The Jam In Jubilee 2010 will be a great success but the event could still benefit from donations from local individuals and/or companies.
If you or someone you know are interested in helping the Jam In Jubilee 2010 with donations, email Daniel Bryce at dbryce@gmail.com today!
