An Evening with the Junebugs & Toast and Jam

Toast and Jam…It’s a family thing!  TNJ is known for their 4 part harmonies and gritty vocals, held together by an upright bass, a fiddle and two guitars.  The groups sound isn’t so much about the notes they sing or play, but more about how their music makes you feel. Once you hear them, you want to hear more. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old or somewhere in between, there’s something for everyone when this band plays.

The Junebugs -

Imagine if Neil Young and Janis Joplin had three love children, and those children grew up to like folk rock and hip hop. The Junebugs combine high-energy pop and rock with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a genre-bending sound you can kick up your heels to.

The Junebugs originated on the Vancouver, BC circuit before moving back home to Portland, OR. There, guitarist Barrett picked up drummer Kyle Owen and bassist Nathaniel Daniel, to round out the dynamic trio. Covering everything from Tom Petty to TLC to Lorde, the eclectic taste of the trio ranges from turn-of-the-century Americana to modern Hip Hop, with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony. Their original tunes have a dreamy, sweet quality reminiscent of Neil Young and Iron & Wine, peppered with fiery banjo lines. There is something for everyone here.
