On Friday 19th April we welcome back ‘supergroup’ Taxi For Jesus – who feature four past members of The Trevor Burton Band: Maz Mitrenko (Lead Guitar and Vocals), Stuart Ford (Lead Guitar), Pez Connor (Bass), Bill Jefferson (drums) – to Joe Joe Jims.

Maz has enjoyed over 50 years in the music business as a guitar player, singer and songwriter and there have been almost countless bands and projects he has been involved with over the years, the most recognised being his tenures with Hoi Polloi, The Handsome Beasts and the Trevor Burton band.

Although he has been running his own successful band for over a decade, he was pleased to be asked to participate in this new project, not least because it features some of his former bandmates with The Trevor Burton Band and although The Maz Mitrenko band will continue to perform, Maz is enjoying trying something a little different with “Taxi for Jesus”!

So, get down to Joe Joe Jims for what will be an energetic, highly charged performance from a great group of musicians.

Show Starts: 8.00pm | Ticket: £8.00 (Inc. Fees) online | £10.00 on the door (subject to capacity)

The Cinelli Brothers champion a new generation of passionate musicians sharing in the love of Blues, Soul, R&B and the true authentic sounds that have made the blues a cornerstone of music history and have two highly-acclaimed albums under their belts as well as a long list of awards and prestigious nomination such as in 2020, 2021 and 2022 the band being nominated for the UK Blues Awards for “Blues Band Of the Year”.

On Friday 24th May we welcome back Colorado’s Michael Morrow & The Culprits to JJJ to deliver another evening of ‘Hard Rock Countryfied Blues’.

The American Rock Band, hailing from Colorado, deliver the goods when it comes to that bluesy hard rock with a touch of twang undoubtedly coming from that Big Red Gretsch guitar Michael is known for playing over the years. That tone matched with his voice is distinctive. Influenced from bands like The Beatles, Aerosmith, KISS you can hear that melody and strut matter.

They perform regionally from their home state of Colorado to Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah and are once more dipping their toes into the UK following a successful tour in 2023, upholding their mantra of “Write, Record, Perform“.

The boys put on a great show last time they paid us a visit and we’d definitely recommend you don’t miss them this time around.
