MOSQUITOE MUSIC

How did the "after 5 jam" start?

After office hours, Funky Michael Coleman would jam with local artists on the Mosquitoe Gallery stage. The Mosquitoe team enjoyed the jam sessions so much they decided to record them. The term "after 5 jam" was born and the series became a monthly release starting in October 2014.

The end of 2014 was a tragic year for Mosquitoe. A month after Michael's recording, he passed away. Jay Verenski, a member of the Mosquitoe Team, followed Michael a month later. Mosquitoe Music continues the series in remembrance of these two.
