Blueberry Jam

Bluegrass band

Auckland Area

Blueberry Jam

Formed in late 2002, as Bluegrass Stirfry and renamed 2004 Blueberry Jam have been active around the folk clubs in Auckland and especially at the Auckland Bluegrass Club. They play a wide range of music besides the bluegrass standards. Fast furious instrumentals, fiddle tunes, bluegrass songs plus a fun sense of humour make Blueberry Jam stand out from the herd.
Coralie their fiddle player has been playing since she was 11 and can fiddle rings around most fiddlers in Auckland,
Bill Hynson is one of the most experienced musician/singers and songwriters on the Auckland contemporary acoustic scene – he has been in Tattiebogle, Twisty Willow and other prominent Irish groups as well as the Muskrat Ramblers and Delta Jazz Band.
Great for adding a fun atmosphere to your party or event. We play good foot tapping dance music and fun songs. Can add acoustic bass player for larger gigs.

Ideal for: Theme setting background music for fairs, weddings, themed events, parties
