Greetings and welcome to 2023!
We hope your new year has gotten off to a swinging start. Ours certainly has!
Recently...
Since our first break out of Covid jail in March, we had a packed rest of the year. Here are a few highlights:
We also just spent a week over New Year's in Athens at the Half Note Jazz Club with every night of our seven-show run sold out.
Here are a few photos we took up the Philopappos Hill overlooking the Acropolis.
We have also been down in the West Country last weekend in Compton Dundon and Torquay. Always lovely to head West into the heart of England.
On TV (Well, our music was)
We just found out that a brand new cop show on Fox in the USA called "Alert: Missing Persons Unit" starring Scott Caan (from the Hawaii 5-0 reboot and Oceans 11, 12 & 13 and also James Caan's son!) have used our version of "Bring Me Sunshine" in the opening scene of episode 2 which aired last night.

Video Shorts
We have been putting out quite a few video shorts for fun in some exotic (and not-so-exotic) locations. If you want to see what we've been up to in between shows and need a fix of rockin' music in bite-sized chunks, head to your preferred social media platform:
YouTube • Instagram • Facebook • TikTok
See you all soon! If you know anyone that could use a boost in smiles, please send them along to a live show or share a video with them and please also let us know if you want us to play in an area near you if we aren't already!
Cheers, The Jive Aces
