HAPPY TURKEY DAY FROM ”THE CORE”

HELLO and Happy Thanksgiving to all the Chefjimbo friends and fans !!

I hope you are all having an enjoyable day of feast and fun. This simple note also gives me the chance to announce the new  band developments and post some new photos as well as clue everyone in on the upcoming plans for the near future.

As you all know the replacement of previous guitarist Chris was made a few weeks ago and seems to be working out just fine and we are looking forward to many shows in the next few months. The false start of our winter tour was interrupted by the unexpected freak snow storm that occured on the exact first day of our tour schedule !!! Well needless to say we had to cancel and redo all the arrangements for our future dates as well as do a press kit and photo session for the upcoming CD release… We are all feverishly working on the tunes and the loose ends that must be tied up before we begin the shows once again…We all hope you are on board for the next gig which will be posted a.s.a.p….I leave you all with the fondest of holiday wishes and look forward to seeing you at the next 

THE CORE

string of shows..P.S. Check out some of the new photos ,,,More to come ,,,The Chef

”Here We Go Again” The Core Returns !!!!

Hello out there all Chef fans and friends…Yes It’s been a while and I am truly sorry for the infrequent postings.  The new season has  gotten off to a very rough start with the loss of former guitarist Chris O’Loughlin and then auditions for his replacement were a rough ride to say the least.  Chris has gone off to pursue different musical endeavors and we all wish him well ….

After many failed attempts we have recruited the likes of  Mr. Bob Trewhella ..A seasoned and technical addition to the “Core” line up.  It is our hope to shape this new ensemble into a well oiled and more rockin psychedelic version then the past Core arrangements.  All looks good for the opening date of the new project this Saturday evening  October 29th,2011  at, “” Paddy’s Place “”    999 Rosemont  Ave.  Union N.J. 07083   . As usual the fun and games will start around 10 pm and continue till about 1:30 am.  Of course the preshow meet and greet and  after show lunacy will be the  usual insane  affair.

We will be performing an expanded list of classic rock as well as some original pieces that will hopefully make the upcoming L.P. release this winter season.  We are looking forward to seeing you all there and having a jamming and partying time ….Lets Rock and Roll all Nite !!!!!!,,,,,,,Catch y’all there,,,,,,The Chef !!!!!

The Chef’s Search Continues

 

Hello all you loyal Chef fans and friends.   Alas the winter months have proven to be most upsetting as well as uneventful for the band. I have suffered many personnel changes and some untimely illness.

Fear not devoted followers,  I am back in the saddle and in high gear with my latest version of the Chef Jimbo Project dubbed,  “The Core”  that is actually looking quite promising as the spring of 2011 edges into view.

The newest line up of musical talents includes,  Super Charged Drummer Nick Nardo,  Bassist extraordinaire Fritz Sammy, long time, friend, and guitar virtuoso Chris O’ Loughlin,  and the newest addition to the family,  Mr. Lou Moll, a tasty as well experienced guitar wiz that has made our quest for new music and new band spirit possible.,,Welcome  Lou !!,, and of course I’m still here plugging along the rough and dusty road  we have come to know as Rock-n- Roll.

OK as usual I will be keeping you updated with all the new developments, spring tour dates and all the mad and crazy antics of the band that just won’t quit,,,,Love ya all ,,,,,ChefJimbo

/>Hello all you Chef fans,  friends,  and other assorted lunatics. I am most thankful for all your support and concern as to my absence from postings. I have been suffering great difficulty in finding the few needed recruits for my latest musical endeavor.

 I am not sure how this is possible, but apparently, lead guitar players for this particular project are in  short supply !!!,,go figure,, I always thought you guys were a dime a dozen   LOL !!! Anyway I am currently auditioning the treasure trove of talent that has responded to my ad and will be adding more youtube videos, interviews, and other insane road show photos shortly. I know you guys are just sitting on the edges of your seats waiting to see what the new groove is going to be, so I won’t keep you waiting long,,,,I promise !!!!!    See y’all soon,,,,,,THE CHEF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hey Chef Fans !!

Haven’t been here in a while, sorry but holiday was crazy and I’m in the process of recruiting new musicians. Looking forward to many new tour dates and of course the long awaited full length L.P.,,

I hope to have the new line up of rockers on the bill in a week or two, I’ll keep ya posted. Till then keep on rockin”!!!!
