Jaw Potato

Mike Jeffers CEO of Chicago Jazz Publishing and Entertainment has been performing throughout the country for years with Pop Rock/Jazz /Blues and R&B groups. After a 5 year residency at the world famous Peninsula Hotel as a member of the house band lead by Smashing Pumpkin’s Cellists Eric Remschneider, Jeffers started his own project designed to play music a wide audience would enjoy while pushing the limits of creativity.

Based off of the concept of the “Jam Band” Jeffers enlisted the help of some of his friends who he had performed with in other projects to create Jaw Potato “Chicago’s Jaw Dropping Jam Band.”

Guitarist Mike Z who tours with bassist Sam Cockrell and played in the local band Opal Candy.

Dave Goldman from local Chicago bands Detagoh and the Locals, Adam Krause who also performed with the Eric Remschneider group and Detagoh, Alex Grimes an up and comer from North Caroline who currently performs as a freelance musician throughout the city all help to create the sound that is unique and that is Jaw Potato.

Jaw Potato combines the music that Bob Marley, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, Oasis, Beatles and many others made famous into a fun sound that always keeps an audience grooving and dancing. They play music that audiences love to sing along with, however because of the improvisational element Jaw Potato takes twists and turns that most cover bands and jam bands shy away from. Perfect for festivals, colleges and clubs, Jaw Potato always entertains in a professional and energetic way.
