Current Gigs
The JJQ plays at a variety of venues in the northern Colorado area (Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and so on), plus occasional gigs in the Denver area. On the third Friday of each month they draw enthusiastic crowds when they play for Happy Hour at Avo's (Avogadro's Number), a popular hangout near the CSU campus in Fort Collins. They also have frequent bookings to play for the dinner crowd at area restaurants in Loveland, Fort Collins, and Red Feather Lakes.
