JAM CENTRAL STATION

ALL ABOARD! Jam Central Station is now leaving the terminal. Hold on, your about to hear one of the best cover bands in the entire state of Missouri!

Back in the early 70's and 80's rock n roll bands took cover material very seriously. Who could forget cruising up and down the mighty Mississippi on the beloved Admiral. The Younger Brothers often performed and did they ever. When you heard them play Steely Dan or the BEATLES, they sounded just like the original artist!
Today, there are many cover bands but few hold to the original calling. Perhaps this generation welcomes artistic variances when it comes to cover material. One reason many bands are unable to play cover tunes note for note is quite frankly, lack of ability. Think about it, a good cover band is tackling some 50 songs where vocals, instruments, various styles of play, and equipment must match those 50 original artist! This difficult assignment can only be done by extremely gifted artist, perhaps more talented than the original artist themselves! For instance, Steely Dan only has to sound like Steely Dan. However, a good cover band must sound like Steely Dan, YES, Rolling Stones, Fog Hat, Led Zephlen, and The BEATLES! The days of good cover bands is alive and well with the likes of JAM CENTRAL STATION! These dynamite musicians led by Dave Bohannan, hold true to the great artist before them in every sense. Jam Central Station has to be one of the very best cover bands in the state of Missouri!
