Experience the raw energy of JAM and the Buttered Biscuits performing "Shaken" live from The Cedar Room in Campbell, CA. Recorded on February 28, 2026, this performance captures the band’s gritty, full-on rock sound and natural groove—live and in color.
Hailing from the vibrant Monterey Bay, JAM and the Buttered Biscuits serve up a delicious blend of bluesy funk rock music. Originally formed in the fall of 2024 to bring the solo works of JAM (Jeffrey A. Meyer) to the stage, the band's recipe has been evolving ever since. The group has added a fresh flavor to the work and new songs along the way.
The "Biscuits" feature a formidable lineup: Leo MacDonald was among the first to join—bringing smooth, buttery bass lines—with drummer Cliff Nichols and his driving rhythmic grooves on the pots and pans following closely behind. Fernando Giraldo sears the mix with his fiery lead guitar work, complemented by the indispensable blues and country seasoning provided by Brad Kava on harmonica. Nathan Dennen garnishes the sound with soulful keys, adding a rich layer of funk and organ-driven texture to the spread.
With their Monterey Bay roots, JAM and the Buttered Biscuits are a must see act on California's Central Coast. You can catch them up and down the coast including Santa Cruz, Monterey, the San Francisco Bay Area, Morro Bay and beyond.
