Blues, funk, rock, and soul. Fronted by ENC live-looping solo musician Patrick Bliss and stacked with premiere musicians. They’re the jam, everyone else is just jelly.
fresh and familiar. new and original.
PATRICK BLISS
The “PB” in PB & The Jam! Band leader, front-man, rhythm guitar, bass, and vocalist.
Patrick is a classically trained live-looping acoustic cover artist, multi-instrumentalist, lifelong musician, and indie singer-songwriter based in eastern North Carolina. His signature blend of rock, folk, country, pop and dynamic soulful rock vocals have been surprising and engaging audiences since he entered the ENC live music scene.
A masterful vocalist, energetic and percussive guitar player, and stylistic chameleon, Patrick’s solo show combines beat-boxing, live vocal harmonies, skillful loops, and clever genre-blending mashups.
Now he’s excited to deliver than same energy and creativity with a killer band beside him–toe-tapping, pedal stomping, and dancing their way into the future.
KRAIG WESTFALL
Our lead guitar player, Kraig spent decades behind the camera telling other people’s stories, but these days he’d rather be on stage making one up as he goes.
A lifelong guitar player who believes a great show is about connecting with the crowd, Kraig brings blues, rock, funk, and a whole lot of fun to PB&tJ. If he’s grinning, dancing, or making faces at the crowd, there’s a pretty good chance he’s having more fun than he should be allowed to have at his age!
JOSH MINEER
Our drummer!
“Drummer, makes noise with riddem, likes beer, has stuff.”
You might find Josh tending to horses, tinkering on a restored DMC DeLorean, or photographing the stars. He’s the heartbeat of PB&tJ and an active musician in eastern Carolina.
Having recently shaved off all of his hair, stick around for the riveting regrowth!
