About

Two Jam is a Sunshine Coast based duo who play mainly blues and classic rock covers, but on a quiet night, can be tempted or otherwise cajoled into giving their rendition of a popular easy listening, middle of the road or country song. While this flexibility and broad repertoire serves to keep the most diverse audiences entertained and satisfied, Two Jam's primary interest is in capturing the ears and emotions of the 30 plus live music lover who appreciates the sounds of archetypal blues guitar and strong vocals with some harmonica thrown into the mix. Two Jam do not play acoustically and base their sound on a fusion of traditional valve amplified guitar with the latest in digital workstation technology.

Two Jam consists of Jason and Carl Lindeman, who developed as musicians on a diet of Chicago blues, Soul and early Pop along with a generous helping of the likes of Clapton, BB King and Rolling Stones. The sound though, is their own, and far from being restricted to one genre or style, encompasses sweet vocal harmonies to goose-bump inducing guitar improvisation. Carl's talents encompass lead vocals, rhythm guitar and keyboard, while Jason is most content playing lead guitar and providing harmonies. Picture this: you sit in a lowly lit venue enjoying a drink with friends while you feel yourself lifted, lowered and moved by the raw emotion of two musicians practicing their craft, eliciting memories of deeply etched melodies. Two Jam do not just aim to merely 'cover' a song, but to present it in a unique and innovative way that still respects the intent of the original artist. This is the experience they aim for - not just background noise, but a very real and personal expression of an art-form that captures the attention and of the audience and engages them at a fundamental level.

Prior to forming Two Jam, Jason and Carl played in various bands and trios. In Carl's case, this was from the late 1960s. Jason, a relative newcomer, started playing in pubs and clubs at the age of 16 in the late 1980s. While both musicians have played in bands encompassing broad styles of music, this particular distillation of their talents derives not only from their previous experiences, but represents what was in their hearts and minds all throughout this journey. Two Jam have independently produced several original CDs and aim to introduce some of this material to their performances in coming months. The original music not only reflects Two Jam's blues roots but add something new and distinct. (more)
