This is the very LAST week we are going to be pulling off Open Jam without the wonderful skills of the talented Dave Gould, who is touring through the Yukon right now! You can follow his adventures on his blog, the “Yukon Gould Rush” at http://www.yukongouldrush.blogspot.ca/
Big ups to Cliff Rutherford, Wally London and Sean Le Sage for helping with all the hosting duties in his absence.
Sean Le Sage brought the dusty blues, Meaghan Colleen Beattie brought the beautiful melodies, and A Testament To Truth brought that Tom Waits vibes AND an EP (which is still available for $5!)
Mavis and Matt presented us with an impromptu, just-written song based on the concept of being a hipster, while Jesse Elliot crooned with his guitar about finding “the one”.
Adam Carter / The Human Race busted out his usual brand of AWESOME. What a treat. Did you know he’s in the running to Open for I Mother Earth?

Steve Dipiante (of The Ragged Bankers) gave an awesome acoustic performance, singing a song all about Hamilton. Best lyrics? “This city has got me feeling low down[…] I’ve been rusting in this steel town”. Gruntled did a great cover of Rockin’ In The Free World. Then we went into the Jam - check out all the video after the jump!
Our Suspended Coffee program has been engaging so many amazing members in our community, and helping so many in need of a kind gesture. Keep it up, everyone!

In other news, our second Open Jam host Wally London has served us a great meme this week. The competition continues! Don’t forget you can submit your own meme’s on facebook to win cool stuff.
We’ll have some Starvin’ Artist rice and beans on hand so you can get fueled up. The list goes out at 7:30pm for the showcase portion, which starts at 8pm. If you just want to jam, you can time it for around 10:30pm when the stage opens up.
See you there!!
Chef Marg Ann knew this Tuesday deserved “something different” that would suit both our beef-loving and vegan/vegetarian crowd. That’s where the Burrito comes in.
“I’m always looking for inspiration, and the weather really inspired me this time,” she explained. “I wanted something hearty, but not heavy.”
The two options for this rainy spring day are the Grassfed Beef Burrito and a Vegetarian/ Vegan Burrito. Refried beans, rice, greens, onions, peppers and optional grassfed beef, all lovingly put into a wrap and then grilled until it’s just right. Dairy lovers have the option of regular cheese, while our vegan and lactose-intolerant friends can get the yummy vegan cheese we keep stocked. All of it is served with organic salsa + sour cream. Feeling extra peckish? You can add a side salad to any Burrito. For our vegetarian and vegan eaters, we recommend the Homeslaw for the extra boost of nutrients. Enjoy!
Homegrown serves up French Toast with a healthy twist today! You can compliment your delicious stack with a side salad for that extra healthy boost, to keep you going on this beautiful day! Oh, and of course it’s served with REAL Maple syrup. All day Sunday breakfast pour vous!
