3 O'Clock Jump

Were you Wondering? NYE on the Hornet was TERRIFIC- again!

This year marked the 4th in a row that 3OJ has furnished the music for the USS Hornet Museum’s annual fundraising Gala NYE party, and the show this year was almost as much fun for the audience… as it was for the band!

A sold-out crowd (yes, we sold out an aircraft carrier!) seemed to love everything from the swinging renditions of the standards like In The Mood to the Never-before seen Sizzling Hot Accordian Polka Medley, complete with pretzel toss!  In between we had cool jazz, hot mambos and sultry tangos…something for everyone who came out!

New Years Eve Video!

It was just us and lots of folks who came out to the USS Hornet to see in the New Year on San Francisco Bay! We stayed at the dock because the Hornet is a museum now, but 3OJ got the ship ROCKIN’! 

Once we started getting close to Midnight, we kicked off Route 66. Then the clock was running out and all of a sudden, BOOM, there we were, with 2010 staring us in the face, so we had to shift some serious gears and get down to business! Check it out!
