Big Fat Jam – Discography, MP3

“Groove-rock: blues-based rock that’s heavy on the riffs.” That’s how lead singer Lance Dalbey describes the unique sound of Big Fat Jam. Along with guitarist Dave Yankowiak, bassist Matt Schreiner, and drummer Keith Anderson, BFJ carries a strong classic rock influence with a modern edge. Yankowiak further describes their style as “good, solid, in-your-face rock-n-roll,” and cites such musical influences as Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Cream, and Jimi Hendrix.

The Artist
THE METHOD

One couple had this to say about the band:
“Big Fat Jam has the unique ability to make their music an extension of the way they live their lives. The members of the band do not just perform, but share their faith and commitment to Christ with their audience before and after shows. They are awesome role models for young and old alike. We have seen BFJ touch the life of our son and his friends as the band combines their love of the Lord and their compassion for people into music that rocks your soul.”

THE STORY

While the members of BFJ reside in different areas of Minnesota, they call the small town of Mora the band’s home. Their practice space, The Shack, is located there and is the place where the band was originally formed in 1995. Since then, they have enjoyed putting on fat jams wherever they can, placing in the top three twice in the annual New Union band tournament, performing at Sonshine ’96 & ’99, Spirit Fest ’99, ministering to secular crowds at Twin Cities clubs such as the FineLine and First Ave, and putting on many shows for colleges and youth groups all over the Midwest.

While their debut 1999 release, Big Fat Jam, has been getting much positive attention among the Christian and secular music industries, it is an energy-filled BFJ concert experience that is their consistent trademark. Glittery, groovin’, guitar-based showmanship is what has caused such a stir among the thousands who have witnessed the phenomenon. With the band’s increasing popularity, Big Fat Jam continues to grow both musically and spiritually, and they hope to keep on doing so while staying in focus of what God has in store for them and their fans.

Band Members: Lance Dalbey, Vocals; David Yankowiak, Lead Guitar; Keith Anderson, Drums; Matt Schreiner, Bass.
