The band is comprised of 4 veteran musicians with a passion for putting on a rock show. It started out as a weekly jam session that has now turned into a versatile powerhouse of all things rock. The band specializes in 90s music, but will venture into any decade to throw the crowd a curve ball or two. Windows Down is comprised of Devin Birch (Drums), Gabe Calabro (Guitar/ Vocals), Colin Cusack (Bass Guitar/Vocals) and Shaun Cusack (Guitar/Vocals).
Come and see the 2nd to last show ever of one of the areas premiere classic rock bands. JammSammich is committed to the ultimate good time. Going 25 years strong, JammSammich, the readers of the River City Times voted JammSammich ” Peoria’s favorite band” many times over. The formula of groove-driven funk and R&B, retro 80’s tunes, island jams, and liberal doses of comedy has proven to be one of the most potent and fun Central Illinois bands.
