Bio: Hudson, Wisconsin native "Jambo" Joe Bones plays a mix of familiar folk-rock, classic country and Jimmy Buffett music at his solo-acoustic shows. He also performs "All-Buffett" Tribute shows when called upon. His evolving catalogue of original material is in the tradition of the singer/songwriter of the 70s, where songs are stories of real people, places and experiences, lying somewhere between the lines of fact and fiction. Jambo says "I play wine bars, honky tonks, on patios and for Parrotheads, so there is a little something for everyone at my shows. And often by the end of the night, it's one big sing-along... just the way I like it." Jambo's first CD of all-original material is currently in the works. Reviews: "Jambo" Joe Bones looks and sounds like he stepped off a '70s Jimmy Buffett album cover with nothing but an acoustic guitar, a backpack full of lyric-based songs and an eye out for the nearest waterfront bar or roadside honky-tonk. His set list reflects an appreciation for classic singer-songwriters in the acoustic vein and a willingness to go beyond the catalog of greatest hits. His wide-ranging catalog of Buffett covers includes the obligatory "Songs You Know By Heart," but also features dozens of lesser-known classics dating back to the days of vinyl. Along the way, Jambo sprinkles in a liberal sampling of the likes of Jerry Jeff Walker, Todd Snider and Guy Clark; stirs in a little Warren Zevon and Barenaked Ladies; adds a dash of John Prine or Johnny Cash; and serves it all up with a side of well-crafted originals. Although his "Joe Bones" persona conjures up images of a beachfront bar (which is not always easy to do in northern Wisconsin), he's actually much closer to what Steve Earle would call a "hardcore troubador." That's not a bad thing. "Hey Joe, mind if I pull up a bar stool and just listen for a while?" – Jim Hoehn "As President of the St. MinneSomePlace in Paradise Parrot Head Club, I am always on the lookout for fresh Buffett-style live entertainment. I received an e-mail from a guy named "Jambo" one day asking me to come and see him play at a beach party. Well, a few of us showed up, and there, sitting on a bar stool, is this person who might as well have jumped off the cover of the "White Sport Coat" album, playing "A Pirate Looks At 40." We bellied up to the bar, ordered a round and sat there in awe listening to this 1970’s Buffett look-a-like play all our early Buffett favorites, and some of our new ones as well. Our Club has enjoyed his music for a couple of years now and many of us travel to his various gigs just to sit and listen and sometimes even get up and sing with him. Jambo’s reputation is growing at a feverish pace. He's played at venues ranging from backyard parties to our infamous "This Hotel Room Phlocking" which draws upward of 400 attendees. Jambo has even been called up on stage to sing at the Conch Republic Seafood Company in Key West, Florida by one of the premier trop-rock bands from San Diego California, "Stars on the Water." The repertoire of "Jambo" Joe Bones is ever-expanding. Not only are his covers fabulous, he has a growing list of original works. Whether you are looking for a throwback beach party or a quiet evening at a wine bar, Jambo has you covered. Watch for his soon to be released debut CD. – Rob Winters January 23, 2008 Dear “ Jambo” Joe, – Jason Steen January 15, 2008 Joe, Thanks for one of the best live shows we've had at Old Chicago in a long while. Your music, your presence, the whole night was an absolute smash hit! Can't wait to book you again!! – Damon Holter
