We were so glad to take the stage and have our bandmate Jake then join his other band, DTension where he rocks the bass guitar. What an incredible night of rock n roll for both bands.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603792018-01-28T21:20:00-08:002018-02-03T21:16:19-08:00Mikaelpalooza and Minor Emergency<p>Mikaelpalooza are these great concerts that our music director Mikael Jacobson puts on where he groups his students into small bands to rock out. Minor Emergency gets a change to play some more things like a little bit of country, a little bit of rock n roll, a little bit of blues. We also take turns working with the other bands to help them each put on a great performance. It is so much fun!!! We all love Mikaelpalooza. It is also a chance to do things like surprise Mr. Sonderman with Jake and Luke playing Moby Dick or have Minor Emergency tackle Pinball Wizard with Luke on guitar rather than Jake.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603682017-12-30T13:15:00-08:002018-02-03T21:11:48-08:00Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs - New Year's Weekend<p>What a fantastic crowd!! We had so much fun playing for the start of New Year's weekend at such an epic hotel. We issued a challenge to ourselves to see how many different songs we could play. Two hours of music. I think we only repeated one song and not even sure why. What a blast!!!</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603672017-12-17T16:10:00-08:002018-02-03T21:09:10-08:00Kimpton The Rowan Grand Opening and Downtown PS Revitalization<p>There are a few times in life where you get the most amazing stage, the very best of sound and an incredible audience all at the same time. We were so honored to open for The Flusters and The Yip Yops. We are grateful to so many people who made this event happen. What a blast!!! We received some of the most incredible compliments that make us all blush. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603662017-11-19T14:10:00-08:002018-02-03T21:06:56-08:00Fall Family Festival and La Terraza Block Party<p>Well...sometimes like just throws you a few curve balls. First we get to the festival and they have no sound or power even. Then Jake is so so so so sick during the Block Party. We made it through but I hope we get a do over. I know we can knock their socks off even more if Jake is not so sick.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603652017-10-29T18:05:00-07:002021-12-23T01:45:41-08:00Private Event...with costumes<p>So much fun dressing up like the 1960's and entertaining a room full of musicians. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people helping us in our life of rock n roll. Happy Halloween!!</p>

We are so overwhelmed by the incredible support of the Paint El Paseo Pink crowd. So many new fans. Even though we had to get up before 5 am to start the set up process...it was so worth it. Again, we get to help an amazing cause and be a part of an event. We are so excited to be invited back for the 2018 Paint El Paseo Pink.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/50603632017-10-14T14:05:00-07:002018-02-03T21:01:59-08:00Concert for Autistm 2017<p>Jake, Luke, Zoe and Brayden were so happy to be a part of the Concert for Autism at The Tack Room.

Fantastic crowd!!</p>
<p>Thank you to all of our fans for coming out late. Thank you to the Hard Rock for having us rock your lounge.</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/48305112017-08-29T15:14:40-07:002017-08-29T15:14:40-07:00First Gig of the Season<p>The members of Minor Emergency have been working hard to plan a date that worked to play at the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. The HRH has an excellent manager in Esjay Jones. She knows of the band and has asked us several times to play. Each of us have been so disappointed to have it not work out several times due to other commitments on our end. </p>
<p>Zoe, Brayden, Luke and Jake are so excited to have it work out to perform this Saturday, September 2nd at 10 PM as part of Esjay's Hard Rock Global Lounge Sessions. We are looking forward to entertaining the guests and visitors to the Hard Rock Hotel. We hope to see all of our regular fans out there for a fun time. The show begins at 8:00 PM and runs until midnight with Minor Emergency going on about 10 PM.</p>
<p>See you Saturday night!!</p>

Zoe was busy at a top notch summer camp for piano. She also spent time preparing for her new band adventures in the upcoming school year. Brayden, Luke and Jake spent time in the local Academy of Musical Performance which is a rock band summer camp. Jake also prepared for high school by doing some Geometry over the summer as well as the beginning of AP Music Theory. Family vacations were had by all. Brayden had to send another older sister off to college. Each member of the band is ready to dive back into their school work, music lessons and of course performing together as Minor Emergency. As our calendar is just beginning, please don't hesitate to contact for your upcoming event!</p>

This festival support the local bus system, Sunline Transit Authority, and the local arts community, Coachella Valley Arts Scene and CREATE. Minor Emergency started by performing a 45 min set on the stage at the CREATE facility. The room was set with unique art on the walls for sale to support the CREATE space. There were all kinds of stations for people to create their own art while they are there. When Minor Emergency took the stage, we had a great crowd come on over to hear us play. We were so excited to engage the audience and have fun with them. The fun and funny part is that 3-4 people were standing up right by the stage filming the band. We ALWAYS love new fans.<br><br>Then we rushed over to the bus and played a fun somewhat unplugged set for a short run on the bus. There were many bands waiting to board the buses. It was so fun talking to the other bands about how they plan to do their sets on the bus.<br><br>I hope that you will go to the YouTube channel and enjoy seeing us on a stage and on a bus!!!<p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmq2_DMJhHt7pC60KJIic-w<br><br>http://111musicfestival.com/</p>Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/44616382016-11-10T20:30:33-08:002016-11-10T20:30:33-08:00Nov 19 & Nov 20<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Brayden, Zoe, Jake and Luke are so excited to for the big weekend of shows!! <br><br>Saturday, November 19th 12:30 PM at the La Quinta Family Fall Festival in Old Town La Quinta<br><br>AND<br><br>Sunday, November 20th 4:00 PM at Whole Foods Palm Des</strong></span></div><br>We can't wait to put on a great show for you both dates!!<br><br>Saturday will include the members of Minor Emergency playing with all different members of Desert Rock Academy as well as playing as Minor Emergency.<br><br>Sunday, the band will play on the patio of Whole Foods.

These musicians are used to play it loud as they belt out the classic rock that they usually tackle. It is a wonderful challenge for them to learn some new softer Christina music.<br><br>Meanwhile, they are each also working on songs for Mikaelpalooza in June which involve everything from Elvis to Fall Out Boy to Green Day!!Minor Emergencytag:www.minoremergencyband.com,2005:Post/41226302016-04-05T22:46:19-07:002016-04-05T22:46:19-07:00Playing for Big Brothers Big SistersLast Saturday, we had a really fun gig playing as Minor Emergency. At the same time, many of the musicians from Desert Rock Academy also played and we joined them as well. Since all of us love to play music, playing for three hours was a treat, truly. This fundraiser was at Desert Rocks, an indoor rock climbing place. Their stage was at the top of the rock climbing walls on a platform. This meant bringing ALL of our equipment up a flight of stairs, setting up, playing for three hours and carrying it all down. Many people called it paying our dues. We are so grateful to all of the parents and others who helped muscle it all upstairs and then down. It was a great opportunity to help out a wonderful organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Desert. We ended the adventure with a band picnic. It was awesome to have some downtime together!Minor Emergency
