Big Friction Jam reunion

Saturday, Sept. 5

By Suzy Stump on September 2, 2009

When Jazzbones hosted the Big Friction Jam in 2007, you could find a damp me on the dance floor every Sunday night. Well, I’m thrilled to report that one of the powers that created the Big Friction Jam, Jesse Turcotte, has organized a BFJ reunion Saturday night at Doyle’s Public House, which just so happens to be where Turcotte bartends. The evening will begin with the popular grungy Tacoma hip-hop band The Revengers from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. Afterward, the band will join a few teachers from Seattle’s rock school, members of The Higher Vibes (including Turcotte), All Night Yardsale, The Say Hi Band, and assorted musical friends from Tacoma. Expect a funky, bluesy vibe.
