Hello, loyal River Jams customers!

My name is Grace, and I have the privilege of being an intern at River Jams, and I am currently attending culinary management at CVTC.

ı was originally born and raised in Türkiye, my plan is to bring cuisine from my motherland. Many foods have originated in Türkiye that most people don't know about, such as sourdough and baklava, etc.

When Jack and Jeannine asked me, if I would like to cook some of my menu items for River jams Ski Sprites show, I didn't hesitate. Naturally, I wanted to give everyone a taste of Türkiye. So, with that said, we will be serving our customers our favorite dessert, baklava, as well as Adana kebabs.

Adana Kebab is a flavorful, hand-shaped Turkish kebab made with spiced ground beef, grilled over an open flame. Named after the city of Adana in southern Türkiye, it’s known for its bold spices, smoky flavor, and tender texture. Served hot off the grill on a warm pita — it’s a must-try!

Baklava is a beloved Turkish dessert made with layers of thin, flaky phyllo dough, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with a light honey glaze. Baked to golden perfection and topped with pistachios, it’s crisp, rich, and melts in your mouth. A sweet finish you won’t forget!

Throughout my education, I am very blessed to have Melissa Tok as an instructor, who has supported me from the beginning. Special thanks to Jack and Jeannine, who hired me and supported me through my internship. My goal for future is to bring a taste of Türkiye to this area in my own food truck.

Come join us this Thursday and enjoy. See you all!

Americana/Alt-country/Folk from the hills of western Wisconsin. Blending warm tones, reverbs, delays & vibrato with outlaw grit, Jeff White sings of love, loss & lust with an Americana vibe.

Jeff began honing his songwriting skills working the red-eye shift as a taxi driver. Railroad conductors, heartbroken men & women after bar close and wild out-of-towners were all frequent riders who freely opened up about their personal lives. Their late night conversations were all inspirations to the genesis of his upcoming career as a songwriter and entertainer.

Jeff has toured the lower 48 from coast to coast as well as England, Scotland and Wales. Much in the vein of Johnny Cash, Jeff writes and sings his own songs but also performs unique interpretations of other songs he admires. He's opened up for Dr. John, Mason Jennings, members of Wilco, Bill Staines and has performed along side Justin Vernon & Phil Vassar. He has 6 albums under his belt and one is with Charlie Parr & folk music legend, Greg Brown. His latest CD, 'Renegade Revelations' recently received a 4 star rating in The Netherlands on the alt-country review website, altcountry.nl.

Dave BeBeau is an Ashland, Wisconsin native who taught himself how to play guitar back in 1987, but has been on stage since he was just a kid. His love of music started early but his rock and roll journey really got going in 2003, when he and a group of friends formed the band Contradiction. Today they perform at venues across the Midwest including appearances at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, Rock Fest, and North Woods Rock Rally. Dave takes his love of music seriously and on occasion unplugs from the band, performing as an acoustic solo. You can expect to hear songs by James Taylor, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Charlie Daniels, America, John Cougar, Bon Jovi, to name just a few. The list of artists is constantly growing, so you might just hear something that really surprises you!
