Members of the group: Rosie Sida, Brian Anater, Eric Furfari,

When it comes to putting a tune to the dancing steps there’s no better choice than Rosie and The Jammers. This upbeat five-piece act has been a staple at local events and festivals for seventeen (18) years and is known just as much for their great showmanship as their talent and is always a crowd favorite.

Rosie and The Jammers are working on a new CD to be release by the end of the year. We released three (3) CD’s “At Last” “Celebrate” and “Rosie and The Jammers Live”.

We also have DVD’s available of our beautiful Polka Mass.

Rosie and The Jammers bring high energy and a tireless dedication to preserving our ethnic music heritage along with playing music ranging from the big band era and timeless favorites such as country, soft rock, ballads and fun songs.

In addition to playing to a wide local audience, we have also entertained as far away as at a resort in the Catskills and even on a Carnival Cruise Ship to the Caribbean.

Rosie and The Jammers have played for a number of benefits to raise money for various causes throughout the community.

Rosie Sida:   Rosie plays both the keyboard and Button Box accordion. She started to play the piano accordion at the age of 12 and later learned to play the keyboard and Button Box. As the bands Manager, Rosie always has a new idea to keep our shows fresh and exciting.
