Blue Jersey Band  takes you on a musical journey across the Atlantic Ocean. 

Part One of our show is about the migration of traditional British Isles music to America, leading  to the birth of bluegrass.

Part Two of our show is about American jazz migrating to Europe to become what is known as Gypsy Jazz.

Authentic musical arrangements are performed on guitars and mandolin.
