NOVEMBER J&J CONCERT 
THE QUANTUM MECHANICS
"Brothers of the Bean" Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022 6-8 pm Live at Second Stage | Amherst 194 2nd Street, Amherst, VA 24521 
l-r Worth Proffitt on Drums, Ed Mikenas on Steel Guitar, and Andy Aeschbacher on Bass.
From the very beginning of their relationship, coffee and humans have done much to inspire and nourish the creative aspect of life…and Coffee houses became one of the first community-oriented spaces for people to meet, experience a variety of intellectual pursuits, and listen to the newest music of the time.
The Quantum Mechanics have played a similar role with the advent of the “Java and Jazz” venue at Second Stage. Each of their offerings have focused on various aspects of coffee and its relation to Jazz. For this performance, they will be brewing up a cup of deep musical goodness, with roots in the “Great Depression”, inserting double helpings of Blues and BeBop, and adding dollops of original tunes all along the way. They will primarily select from the following menu. Enjoy!
