- **Event Name**: Jelly Roll Blues Band Live in the Beer Garden!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Jelly Roll has been together since 1981. Yes.. we are pretty much that same up north band you remember...like in Boyne City at the Sportsman. We played at the Sportsman for over 20 years... It was a great gig. We never moved our equipment, and it was really the only party within 100 miles other than Union Station in Traverse City or Leggs Inn.

Formally known as the Jelly Roll Blues Band, and more formally the Jelly Roll Morton Memorial Blues Band, Jelly Roll grew organically out of a “lively” open mic night at the City Park Grill (at the time called Park Garden Café) in the late 70’s. Today, we are still playing and celebrated for shaping Northern Michigan’s live music scene.

Maybe you caught us in the 80’s and 90s when we were the house band at the Sportsman in Boyne City, or at the Snowflake Lounge at Boyne Mountain, or the zoo bar at the Highlands… or maybe you caught us during the 30 plus years we played Sunday nights out at Legs Inn in Cross Village? ... Let’s not forget Horns Bar during the yacht races on Mackinac! So many gigs we can’t remember.

Currently, original members include Johnny Storm (guitar) and Bob Crosser (bass). Bill Riesenbeck (Drummer) replaced Gram Fineout in the 80’s. So Bill's been with the band going on 30 years... Kenny Mustang replaced Craig Stadtmiller on piano/organ. The newest member is Tony Sasso (singer/congas), who played with Johnny Storm for 7 years in a band prior to Jelly Roll.

Other members during that formidable time in the early 80s include Marty Ward, Newt Cole, and Patty McPeak. After Craig’s retirement, the band performed for 5 years or so as a 3-piece before bringing in Kenny Mustang on Keys (Incidentally, Kenny took piano lessons from Stadtmiller in the 80’s).
