If you’re within driving distance of Poplar, Wisconsin, (or even if you aren’t!) consider this your personal invitation to attend DeepWater Music’s Winter JAM at 5:30 this Sunday, December 14th, hosted by the gracious folks at Mission Covenant Church. (Take highway 2 east out of Superior, drive about twenty miles, and turn right on highway P, just past Poplar. You can see Mission Covenant from the intersection-a ginormous grey church plunked in the middle of a hayfield. You can’t miss it. Trust me.)

This is your chance to see a sister act of 9-15 year olds rock a punkified version of “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”, to ooh and aah over a middle school jazz prodigy who gives Norah Roberts a run for her money, to laugh at me trying to hang pace with the teenagers who insisted on hard rock/pseudo metal songs, and generally be blown away by the talent lurking in this little corner of nowheresville. If you’ve never been to one of our JAMs, I guarantee you it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.

So come. You only live once, and what if this is your only chance to hear a punk-rock version of “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”? You would die unfulfilled, wouldn’t you?

See you there!
