Artist Bio
The Junk Jam Band is a high energy, interactive, and educational group featuring musicians Zach Green, Josh Robinson, and Eric Waldman. Using found objects and homemade instruments, they deliver messages of environmental awareness, social responsibility, and recycling. In addition to recycled instruments, the band incorporates technology by using a keyboard and “looper” or sound recycling pedal that allows for on-the-spot recording and layering of sounds to build songs.

Testimonials
This was by far one of the best programs I have seen in the years I have been teaching. The students loved it and it was very engaging. Great job!
Teacher, Samuel Mickle School
The band was awesome! It was incredible to see the instruments made out of basic recyclable items. The band had an important message for students while still making the assembly exciting. The students and staff were engaged throughout the entire show. It was age-appropriate even for our pre-k students. Outstanding! We would definitely have these guys again!
