booking: www.themusicworks.com 651.257.9500 the band Since 2009, Big Toe & The Jam are here to help you kick off your shoes and shake out the blues on an utterly grand scale. Rock, pop, R&B, and funk. From James Brown, Journey, Bob Marley, and Aretha to Bruno Mars, Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera, from Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Prince to Taio Cruz, Jason Mraz, and Gwen Stefani, from The Beatles, Chicago, and The Blues Brothers to Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, and Kid Rock, and don't miss the Disco Extravaganza that will leave you breathless. Vocalist Paul Dunkirk (original member, The Blenders) and drummer Ja- mie (Sacred Chao, Brat Pack Radio) have merged their respective bags of trickery and assembled a 9-piece, technicolor troupe with infectious appeal. Paul Dunkirk and Paula Wilson on vocals will knock you out. Ja- mie, along with bassist Aaron Hammerman lay out relentlessly rock- steady, dynamic grooves. Brian Allen is amazing on keyboard and adds vocal harmony. John Baumgartner on trombone joins one of the best young horn sections in town with Matt Bergman on sax and Sten Johnson on trumpet. These exceptionally talented musical artists want nothing more than to show you a good time. So, step right up. Get on in under the big tent. You're gonna strut. You're gonna sweat. You're gonna get downright converted. Resistance? Futile.

“Thank you guys so much for doing such a great job playing at our wedding! We really appreciate you learning songs just for us and giving us input on the set -list, not to mention letting my brother come up and sing “Sweet Caroline” with you! You guys DOMINATED a huge range of genres, making clear what phe- nomenal musicians you are. Most importantly, you kept the dance floor packed. I can’t tell you how many people told us what a great band we had. On top of all that, we appreciated how professional, flexible and easy-to-work with you were. Thanks for helping to make our wedding day as fun and special as we could have hoped for – we couldn’t be happier to have booked you! Thank you again!” – Elise and Spencer Wedding Reception 2014

I’ve had several co-workers stop by my desk this morning with compliments for the ‘Big Toe’…thanks so much!! … Some folks that stayed later than I did said the dance floor got progressively fuller, so despite the arrangement you succeeded in draw- ing them in, yaaaaaay” Thanks so much, you all were a real pleasure to work with…for what it’s worth, you’re the first band/agency I have followed up with to say that following our party. It was truly a pleasure working with you and, thanks for a great time!” - Laurie, Interstate Companies, Inc.
“The band was great. I received nothing but positive feedback about the band on Saturday night and several times since then. They did a great job and were a pleasure to work with.”- St Vincent De Paul Harvest Fest
“They did a fabulous job! Everyone loved them. We had over 400 people, one of the best attended events!” - Annandale Community
“Hiring Big Toe and the Jam was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. They were professional and friendly when setting up, and they did an excellent job of listening to what we wanted during our planning meeting. At the wedding, they kept everyone dancing and the energy high. I can’t tell you how many comments we had from our guests and people working at the venue about how good they are and how much fun everyone was having. My hus- band’s highlight of the night was when he was pulled up on stage to sing “Sweet Caroline” in front of everyone — very spontaneous (very not him!), but so much fun! We went to a wedding this past weekend where there was a band, and they couldn’t hold a candle to the talent of Big Toe. They are some talented mu- sicians! If there is ever an occasion in the future where we would need a band, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again”. -Beth Schultz, 763-226-0054
