To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Joe Jammer
It is my extreme pleasure to compose this letter of reference for Joe Jammer and his band.
On the evening of Friday, March 2, 2002, our band director scheduled Joe and his group to
perform for our school-community as part of a school band fundraiser. This evening
included food, raffles, and of course, the entertainment provided by the very talented Joe
Jammer and his band The Adventure Time Trio which included two additional members.
What a show! Joe and his band were stupendous! Everyone who attended that evening
exclaimed to what extent they had a good time. The music performed was both exciting for
the students of all ages at our school (kindergarten through grade eight) as well as
thoroughly enjoyed by their parents/guardians and members of the community. Furthermore,
because the evening was designated as a family event with young children, it was
imperative that the event be appropriate as such. Joe was sensitive to this request and
was fabulous with the children, allowing for some time at the conclusion of the evening to
sign autographs and just engage in some small talk after the show.
I would certainly recommend Joe Jammer to provide the entertainment at your upcoming
event(s). He has proven to us here in Willow Springs School District #108, that he can
tailor make a show for whatever type of evening you have in mind. Should you wish to speak
with me further in regard to this matter, please don't hesitate to contact me at your
convenience at the number or address above. Thank you for your attention.
Educationally and Musically Yours,

To Whom It May Concern,
Joe Jammer is an amazing musician who has perfected his craft for many years. Besides
touring with many famous artists he is also a very accomplished songwriter who has
composed music for movies, sports teams and television.
On March 22, Joe Jammer, donated his time and talent to our school. Before the concert
some of our parents and administrators were hesitant about letting a rocker take over our
gym. But when Joe Jammer took the stage all fear was lost. Joe has an amazing ability to
appeal to audiences young and old. The children were magnetically drawn to him. The adults
loved his rock-a-billy music that reminded them of music of their day, and the parents
felt at ease in their seats as they watched their children have a good time dancing and
taking turns onstage with the performers. Joe has a very outgoing and humorous personality
that makes him a great person to have at your school. Besides this Joe is very hard
working and loves the music and audiences that he plays for. We were very lucky to have
him play at our school and we are looking forward to having him again in the future.

 Dear Mr.
Wright (Joe Jammer),
I have helped organize many events over the years and I can honestly say this was one of
the best.
Since I didn't know your show, I was a little apprehensive promoting this concert as a
family event. Although based on your accomplishments, I couldn't wait to hear you play. My
greatest fear was that this family event might not be geared toward the children once the
Adventure Time Trio started their performance after the Willow Springs School Band. You
took all my fears away when you were talking to the children at their level and brought
out your best friend Spongebob Square Pants and your security guard Boba Fett of Star
Wars. Including the school mascot, the wolverine, in you show was also a niche touch.
It was obvious from the first song 'Pipeline' that you had everyone's attention. The
variety of music and the talent of the trio are outstanding. You really grasped my
11-year-old son's attention with 'Secret Agent Man' and 'Peter Gunn'. My 8-year-old
daughter and 9-year-old niece danced almost every song. The only reason they didn't is
because you wore them out. Other than Barney, I have never seen a show keep the kids
attention for so long. Not only did your music keep the parents hopping you also raised
our blood pressure when you showed how wild you are by letting the kids come up on stage
with you to sing 'Wild Thing'. It was wild and the kids had a blast!
I have to say my favorite part of the show was when you electrified us by having parent
Jim Hubbard Jr. join the band to sing and play 'Heavens Door' then you had Superintendent
Dr. Blair Nuccio join with his trumpet playing 'Sweet Home Chicago'. What a bonus!
I went to the concert for 'Joe Jammer' but instead found 'Spong Joe' because that is what
you resembled. It was dazzling to watch you absorb the children and adults into your aura.
Move over Spongebob!
In closing I must commend you band on the 'clean' show. No derogatory comments, no adult
undertones and not eve a slip up of profanity. Kids are constantly exposed to these
negative elements and your band chose to leave them outside the door.
I'm ready to do this again! The Adventure Time Trio is definitely an adventure! The
positive feedback from the audience is gratifying. Please feel free to use this letter for
recommendations.
