Ladies and Gentlemen, it's finally here. Feast your eyes above to our very first album cover (hopefully not the last!). The artwork makes you crave the Sweet Jams more than ever before.

He has gone above and beyond on this project and we can't wait for you to see what the rest of the album will look like. You won't have to wait much longer. It's almost a month away! Spread The Jam. Mark your calenders. Mark your friends calenders. March 16th, 2010 - The Sweet Jams Arrive! In a side note that we have here written on a napkin, we'd like to point out that we haven't posted an update on the status of our latest music video for the song Great Sensations. We're putting a lot of work into it and we hope to have it online by next week!

For over ten years, the Variety Picnic have been working on a musical masterpiece. It's finally time for that masterpiece to unveil itself to the world.

On March 16th, 2010, The Variety Picnic will be holding an album release party for Sweet Jams; a collection of tunes that will amaze, inspire and rock your eardrums to the very foundation. Come out to Natura near UCF and have some drinks at the bar. Not only will you be able to have a drink or two but you'll be able to purchase our album. We won't make you buy it but we might ask you why you're punishing your ears. Not only will you be able to get wasted and buy a CD that will change your life, you will witness a performance from the Variety Picnic! The man who provides the soaring vocals and bodacious synthesizers, Mr. Patrick Mahan, will be there. World class gentleman Earl Babbich will also be in attendance with a guitar in hand and a cigar in mouth. You may also want to come have your picture taken with the legendary Kevin Morse. Now what are you waiting for? Confirm yourself. Click here to confirm on the Facebook event page.
