~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John King and his Tucson band will bring something unique to GJs on January 10th: Christian jazz. Weaving a tight tapestry of jazz-styled music with meaningful Christian lyrics, this local band strives to express their faith in the context of Jazz - because it's who they are, what they do best. They've been diligently working on a CD, which we're all hoping will be available at GJs on January 10th!
In their music, ReignDown tries to reflect the realities of life in the midst of struggle - seeking and ultimately finding love, hope and grace. ReignDown isn't new to GJs, but since the last time they were with us (4 years ago?) they've had some changes in personnel, with guitarist and vocalist Kim Steele the only original band member. Kim and Katy have been together for about a year now, and the new ReignDown material is indicative of their growth as a band. Excited to share the new sounds, ReignDown is ready to take the music whereever they are led - and we're excited to have them at GJs again on January 10th!

"Wanna be booked?"
We have openings for bands and solo artists - but not until August 2009! If you (or someone you know) might want to be booked at GJ's, just write to us at our main email address: gjscoffeehouse@gmail.com. We give preference to local Christian bands and artists, but we also enjoy visits from several out-of-state bands and artists.
There's always "open mic"
Remember - GJ's always has some time for "open mic", so if you'd like to perform a song just let us know in advance - or tell the emcee as soon as you arrive. Some of our best bands and solo artists started out as open mic acts at GJ's!

More GJ's News and Trivia
We're always open the 2nd Saturday of the month, rain or shine.
NEWS FLASH: We have a brand new t-shirt design (done by GJ's fan Amy Williams), so within the next month or two we hope to have the new t-shirts available. We'll keep the design a secret for now - but rest assured that there will still be a penguin. :)
What?? You haven't bought a GJ's Coffeehouse bumper sticker yet?? They only cost a dollar, and they look classy on cars, books, luggage, kitchen appliances, clothing, pets, bedroom doors, bikes, fire hydrants, musical instruments, cowboy boots, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. (let your imagination go wild).
