Newberry Jam

It Takes the Pain Away

About Me

The Newberry Jam project originated in the Fall of 2004 when guitarist Ian Newberry, a student enrolled in Georgia State University’s esteemed Jazz Studies program, and percussionist Radley Fricker held jam sessions at Ian’s house in Home Park. Many gigs later, NBJ participated in the first hip-hop superevent now known to Atlanta as The Breaks, and have been a featured act at each successive one. Since its inception, Newberry Jam has shared the stage with Dubconscious, Ike Stubblefield, Jeff Sipe, Colonel Bruce Hampton, Mike Dillon’s Go-Go Circus, The Bridge, Yonrico Scott, Natti Love Joys, and many others. May 2008 marks their return as performers at the North Georgia-based festival RootsFest. Their full-length release is scheduled to drop in the latter portion of 2008.

Progress

Yes! All is moving slowly but surely in the NBJ world. Had to postpone the recording date AGAIN, but it's for a good cause, like adding a sweet ass organ to the mix. Look for the official NBJ band ...
