JSS Band at NAMM 2007 - January 20th

The Jeff Scott Soto band featuring JSS, Howie Simon, original bassist Gary Schutt and drummer Dave Dzialak will be performing on Saturday night, January 20th for a cool NAMM show event. Other "special" guests might actually join us as well.
Every year, the guys from the Fender Guitars Custom shop put on this concert to benefit "Kids Rock Free", a children's music education program. More information about this program can be found here.:
http://www.fendermuseum.com/kidsrockfreeedupro.html

The venue is Lofflers at 8901 Katella Blvd., about a 9 minute drive or taxi ride from the Convention Center. Their number is (714) 826-2040 in case you need directions.

YOU DO NOT NEED A NAMM BADGE TO ATTEND THIS SHOW !!

However, you must be 21 and prepared to pay a $7 admission fee. ALL the proceeds from this night go to "Kids Rock Free".

At last year's show the venue was SOLD OUT early and they were not letting in any more people. Therefore, I suggest you get there as early as you can...you have been warned!

Hi Metalden,
I move your topic in the Live section. Thanks

Same event!

Who's going to this show?
Here's an advice, posted by Jeff on Melodicrock, to those who plan to go:

This just in....I don't wanna make it too public but thought it shouldn't hurt posting it here....Marco Mendoza's trio are playing before me, about 8:00, Neal's coming down & joining Marco with me for a Soul SirkUS tune, who knows, if there's time we may throw in a Journey tune as well....my band goes on at 9....as already posted, it's 1st come 1st serve, when it's full it's full, no exceptions. EVERYONE pays a $7 donation which goes towards the children's program they do this show for annually. Best bet is to get there by 7-ish & take advantage of the cheap bar prices!!

Of course when JSS is playing in town, I'm not old enough to go!
UGHHHHH.

Any attendees: I want to hear alllll about it after the show
