Every year, the MUF High School Youth Group makes a trip to South Carolina to build a house for Habitat For Humanity. This is a big undertaking, requiring 5 adult advisors and 20 kids. The group spends most of the year planning, preparing, and fundraising for this trip, which builds a youth group as well as a house. We will build our 17th house this year. It takes a lot of time, effort, commitment, and the support of our community. And, of course, it takes money.
This year, Jason Ricci and New Blood has kindly agreed to perform a benefit concert to help raise funds for this year's project. This cutting edge band plays a mix of blues, jazz, and funk, exciting and delighting audiences with their superb musicianship, intense jamming, and tight interplay. Jason Ricci, on harmonica and vocals, is becoming legendary among musicians and fans alike, playing with an intensity and virtuousity that leaves longtime harp players shaking their heads in disbelief. Think Coltrane on harp. You've never heard anything like this.

"One of the biggest regrets I have is that I never got to see Jimi Hendrix, but seeing Jason Ricci's literally breathtaking and physics defying show in San Jose Wednesday night is probably the closest I will get. Jason Ricci did for the electric, and acoustic harmonica, what Hendrix did for the guitar: took it somewhere it's never been". Brad Kava, San Jose Mercury News

"As a lover of live music, a JRNB show is absolutely exhilarating. Imagine the best virtuoso-filled "jam band" you've ever seen (think early '90's Phish, old Fleck tones, Allmans, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks, etc.) and then double the energy and stage presence."
- Blake Taylor, Cincinnati City Beat

Last year's event was a wonderful evening, full of great music, great people, and great vibes all around. Have a listen to Baked Potato, Hip Shake, or Amazing Grace to get an idea.
If you came last year, bring a friend this time. They'll be really glad you did. And if you missed it, come and join us this time. You'll have a great time, and you'll be helping us build a home and a youth group.
