The Tradition
Roots in the 1975 Thanksgiving Eve Jam
Rooted in the legendary Thanksgiving Eve All-Star Jam tradition started by Peanuts, the "Host of the North Coast," in 1975. Cy Sulak and Jim Bacha created the Peanuts All-Star Jam Band in the late '90s, and in late 2023 launched Wednesday Night Jams as a weekly open jam at Backstage Bar.
