Background
 

Hake & Jarema (pronounced HĀk AND Ja-REE-ma) are two music-loving friends who have spent the last decade playing the classic hits of yesteryear at bars, restaurants, weddings, corporate events, and countless backyard parties throughout the Western Philadelphia suburbs and beyond. Our play list consists of over 500 songs from the last 50+ years, spanning many musical genres including classic rock, blues, folk, classic soul, classic country, bluegrass and pop. Our sets vary on a nightly basis and include songs by such artists as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Creedence, Hendrix, Van Morrison, CSNY, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Otis Redding, and Sam Cooke, just to name a few. We play popular tunes with a health dose of “lost classics”. And we take pride in respecting the songs while often adding our own twists to make them our own.

Unless otherwise specified, the dates on our schedule are duo gigs. However, we regularly perform solo or with a full electric band (The Hake & Jarema Social Aid and Pleasure Club) depending on the situation.

Please check out our schedule and come out to see us at a venue near you. For booking, email hakeandjarema@hotmail.com or call 610-202-6353.

Hope to see you soon,

-Bill & Matt
