Students Jazz Up Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop' at Java Jam
Musicians from across the area gathered at Lower Moreland High School for 16th annual Java Jam.
Lower Moreland High School hosted its 16th annual Java Jam last Friday where 29 different acts performed on stage in front of music enthusiasts from all different areas in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
One of the highlights was a group of LM students who performed the popular song "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore. It's been at the No. 1 slot on Spotify for months, and Lower Moreland students turned the catchy song into a jazz tune.
