Have Any Ideas for JAKE?

JAKE is a volunteer organization aimed to help the growth of the local music scene without the use of social media. If you have any ideas or want to get involved please send us an email and we would be happy to collaborate. We cannot do JAKE without you, the reader. Thank you for your support and let's continue to make JAKE the best newsletter it can be.

Weekly Shoutout!

This week's random shoutout goes to Mikey! Your support is appreciated and we hope your week is incredible!

 

Click here for this week's album spotlight!

Instead of a playlist, this week we are shouting out a very special album. The Future of What by Unwound just turned 30 and in honor of the album Unwound announced a tour playing the album in its entirety. This groundbreaking noisy post hardcore album is worth a listen!

 

Weekly Joke!!

What do you call a group of cows?

herd of cows? Of course I have I want to know what you call a group of them! =D

 

Animal Spotlight!

It’s cow time! Driving on the 101? You better keep your eyes open, the cows are sprinkled like ants all over the rolling hills. Get close and you’ll see the true beauty of these magnificent creatures. If you get lucky you can even see the babies playing around!

WHY J.A.K.E.???? 

In an ever-evolving age of “new,” smartphones and social media dependency have been on the rise. Social media’s original intention was to connect us but has ultimately separated us further from each other. This newsletter comes to you to lessen your dependency on this isolating technology. We aim to move away from these vices and support those choosing to use the “dumb phone.” Using email rather than social media, this newsletter will supply information on events as well as updates on the music scene within SLO. Without social media, you risk missing out on real social events, but this newsletter will allow you to skip the FOMO and stay in the loop of everything going on in the central coast scene.

This newsletter will update you about shows, gigs, concerts and other events. It will also feature concert reviews, artist spotlights, weekly playlists, and more.
