Chamber Rocks
ConnectFairfield & Fairfield Chamber Rocks Present J.WAIL Live Band! Join us for a FUNdraiser to benefit the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce for the work they do to support the local business community.
J.WAIL Live Band is a collaboration of musicians from different realms who have come together to melt and fuse live instruments with sounds of electro funkiness. J.WAIL is headed out on select dates with an all-star lineup featuring Sammi Garett and Chris Brouwers of Cool Cool Cool/Turkuaz, Luke Bemand of lespecial and Sam Crespo of Space Bacon. Melding together the sounds of funk, fresh beats and a live band, J.WAIL and an array of special guests, rise to the call of the sonic traffic controller- creating a realm of joy, funky flavors, and euphoria for all. Stretching into an electro funky based sound with the approach of a live band, J.Wail encompasses mind bending music with the element of surprise and improvisation.
J.WAIL Live Band features an ever changing metamorphosis of special guests, making each show and tour unique. Guests have included Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), members of Lotus, String Cheese Incident, STS9, Ween and more. On a quest to spread music, “Wailien” dance parties have logged stops on many corners of the globe and far off galaxies. Guests of the show are ALWAYS encouraged to dress in their finest “Wailien” attire!

Based in Fairfield County, Clear Blue Soul brings a fusion of rock, blues, funk, and soul that together form a cohesive five piece unit that has been the hit of the bar, charity, and private event scene for the last few years.
Drawing on a collection of well-known covers that gets the crowd off their feet, the band is not afraid to put their spin on some lesser known modern cuts - the soon to be classics, as well. Fans can expect songs ranging from the The Grateful Dead, The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac to Tedeschi Trucks, No Doubt, and Lake Street Dive. Clear Blue Soul crosses genres and decades to deliver a fun night of danceable music.
Clear Blue Soul consists of Keri O'Connor (vocals), Dave Fowler (guitar/vocals), Mark Searles (bass), Bill Valus (lead guitar), and Eric Wuchiski (drums). All are veteran musicians who bring their own style and music tastes to the group to the collective benefit of the audience
