Below are pre-Battle JAM Videos As attendees know, Mikey Jr. didn't make the show's opening due to vehicle trouble on the New Jersey Turnpike.  So the bands in attendance delighted the crowd with an impromptu Jam Session.

Here's Alicia Maxwell (of the Diamond Dowgz) on vocals, with help from Billy Pierce (of the Billy Pierce Band) on lead, Kenny Githens and Jim Bowman (of Scoville Blues), on bass & drums and a musician unknown to us on Sax performing "Love Me Like a Man." 
(We hope someone will id the sax player for us so he can get proper credit for this beautiful effort.)


Here's a second video from the Pre-Battle Jam.  This time it's Lars Mitchell on bass
(of Gretchen Emery & the Dirty Boots)
with Scoville Blues' Jim Bowman on Drums and
Blue Jay Slim Pinkus on guitar performing "Red House."
