Get Up Get Up
Not much to say about this song but it sure does rock the snot right out of ya.
Janowski 2000 Janowski 2000
A trip into some serious improvisational funk rock. Fun for the whole family!
Good Morning Little School Girl Good Morning Little School Girl
An old blues tune that every blues band plays... Derek Trucks, Johnny Lang, The Dead, and countless others have all made it a part of their shows. This was recorded live from the WAGONWHEEL in Lake Orion...
420 Jam 420 Jam
This is an early recording of this song when it was just an instrumental. The song now has vocals and as soon as I get a good version recorded with vocals I'll put it on here.
One Way Ticket One Way Ticket
This is a very bluesy instrumental with slide guitar soloing throughout. It has a few funky James Brown style changes along the way and has become a staple of our live shows. We still need to get a version with the vocals recorded.

Jam Samich is more less a Jamband. We like blues, funk, jazz, rock, reggae, folk, fusion, prog-rock, latin, and metal. We've been known to combine them a time or two. Let's just say Jamband though because that's what we do. Two lead guitarists = fun.Band/artist history
Jam Samich was started as a nameless "hippie" style band about 5 years ago in Chuck's basement. Chuck played with various projects before meeting Mike Conley at a friend's house. Chuck and Mike had a band with "Mindrought" bassist Bill Brown. After about a year of random jamming and stuff we parted ways with Bill and got together with a bass player, and his little bro that played guitar. (Chris and Matt) We wrote a bunch of material and did absolutely nothing with it. After playing a Halloween show (our first gig) we realized that people liked us. Now we started getting serious and that's when Matt had to bail because our evolution was moving way fast and probably not in the direction he hoped. (Matt still Jams and is always going to be a welcomed guest to our shows) The search for a guitarist was on... After auditioning several players that were exactly what we were looking for, we found one that was beyond that. JAMMY JOE STANLEY!!! This guy can melt your face off with his tone alone. He was the key to nonstop rocking. Alas!!! Jam Samich is born!! The freight train starts rolling... All aboard y'all!Have you performed in front of an audience?We've played a few bars and have some more shows booked. We play at Overtyme Grill and Tap Room most Tuesday nights at their open jams. We played at a WRIF sponsored show at New Way Bar in Ferndale ( got our name mentioned on the WRIF a few times and I'm told they played one of our songs on the air) We just finished a successful show at the Detroiter downtown.
