The Middle Aged Dad Jam Band (sometimes called MadJam) is an American garage band led by members of the comedy troupe The State.[1] Its principals include vocalist Ken Marino, drummer David Wain, guitarist Frank Barrera, bassist Sweet Teddy P, keyboardist Jon Spurney, trumpeter Jordan Katz, and Wain's son Henry on saxophone."[2]
History
[edit]The band started making music videos in David Wain's Los Feliz garage during the COVID-19 pandemic, covering classic songs like Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" and Billy Joel's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant". About half the members had kids, but, per Wain, all gave off "dad vibes."[3]
They are frequently joined by other members of The State, such as Joe Lo Truglio, Kevin Allison, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Thomas Lennon, as well as guest stars like "Weird Al" Yankovic, Will Forte, and Kathryn Hahn. Their expanded roster has played shows and festivals around the United States.[2][4]
