For over 10 years, Espresso 77 has been hosting live music in Jackson Heights. Recently, we’ve had to change our format, both on the cafe side and the live music side, but that won’t stop us from bringing you what we deem essential - coffee and live music. So, this Friday night, I’ll be playing a live set from my living room on Instagram live at https://www.Instagram.com/officialjmqmusic/

The set will begin at 8:00pm and I’m taking it back to our roots...no PA, no mic, just me and my guitar. I’ll be watching who chimes in, so please join in, say hi, let us know you’re listening, heckle and shout out requests, just like we do at the café.

We have a few other artists lined up to do the same in the coming weeks, so it would be good to gauge how well it works this Friday night. So please tune into #officialjmqmusic between 8:00-8:45pm and let us know you’re there.

E77 is a place for gathering and the recent, necessary shut down has left many of us feeling all sorts of ways. For now, we gather remotely, sharing music like we do at the end of every week. I’m excited to try this and I hope you’ll join me and make yourself present with some text-driven hootin’ and hollerin.’

Paul Trust (bass/vocals), Seth Goldberg (drums) and Jonny Meyers (guitar/vocals) debut at The Mad Donkey.

Jonny Meyers (guitar, a.k.a. Juan) and Paul Trust (Upright Bass, a.k.a. Pablo) start the new year with a gig close to home at Espresso 77. It's been several months since the duo hit the stage, so they are very excited for Jan 11th. Original material and choice covers. Come on out.

From 1998-2009, I was honored to be part of a great band called The Stingers ATX. Through these years, we traveled the world, made some memorable records and formed relationships that will last forever. On this weekend, we join forces with Jeremy Pena and The Bandulus for two reunion gigs in the Pacific Northwest - in Portland, OR. It's gonna be a total blast, with many original members making the trip out there. We can't wait and hope that you can make it too!

Right in the heart of the parade, the NYC Ska Orchestra will be playing the after party that can't be missed. 2 sets Ska, Reggae and Jazz played by 18 stellar musicians.

The annual event is back. Another year stronger, wiser, and more blessed. Happy birthday to me and the best gift that life can offer - family, friends, fresh air, and the Jonny Meyers Quintet in full force. Come out, sit outside, shake a tail feather - whatever floats your boat. I'll be doing it all!

The Stingers Duo on our mini tour! Walter and Jonny bring The Stingers classics back to Kafee Zapoi (Mind Your Head, the literal translation) in Mechelen, Belgium. We'll be opening for the great Gregor Terror and the Calypso Gigolos.

Walter Dunn (original Stinger) and I are back on the road this Spring. We'll be doing a few dates in Germany, all around this fantastic ska festival with so many great reggae and ska bands. We'll be singing Stingers tunes from the early days to the latest albums, DUO-STYLE. Very excited to go across the pond and deliver!
