Kevin
Kanner's Jam is a weekly jam session that blends an all-star house
band sharing in the spirit
of jazz. We feature Kevin Kanner's core quartet with L.A.
Jazz veterans like Josh Nelson and Matt Politano on piano,
Hamilton Price and on bass. Top- class musicians to aspiring
young up-and-coming jazz artists don the stage and make some
incredible and interesting blends of jazz.
Kanner made this formula
transform into a happening scene at the Mint in L.A. over the
last few years and in just two months at Steamers, he's built it
to the hippest Sunday in Fullerton's busy downtown SOCO (bar
district). All ages are welcome, and
food is served until 1am.

For all you Dixieland fans, Steamers brings one of the area’s finest
Dixieland bands, the Golden Eagle Jazz Band, to you in Fullerton. For twenty-two
years, the Golden Eagle Jazz Band served up some of the best traditional jazz
and blues to be found anywhere at the recently closed Depot Bar and Restaurant
in San Juan Capistrano, playing to standing room only crowds weekly.These dedicated artists have built a huge following of devotees of
Dixieland jazz, not only in Southern O.C., but internationally as well, having
performed on cruises, special functions, and in well over a hundred festivals
throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Scotland and Japan. The band currently has
eight recordings to its credit, three of which are on the prestigious Stomp Off
Label, and it continues to gain news fans with each performance.
