Blues for Pops is an annual benefit concert inspired by Jeffrey Walker, the first President of Atlassian, who lost his five year battle to cancer in 2009. Jeffrey was a gifted guitarist with a passion for loud music, technology, and injecting fun into life - with a martini in hand. His children, Brittany and Mac, honor him each year with a benefit promoting emerging artists supported by the local tech community.
Unfortunately we aren't the only family affected by cancer.

Blues for Pops is an annual benefit concert inspired by Jeffrey Walker, the first President of Atlassian, who lost his five year battle to cancer in 2009. Jeffrey was a gifted guitarist with a passion for loud music, technology, and injecting fun into life - with a martini in hand. His children, Brittany and Mac, honor him each year with a benefit promoting emerging artists supported by the local tech community.
Unfortunately we aren't the only family affected by cancer.
Blues for Pops is a celebration of life, love, and music for all of us who have lost a loved one. All ticket sales are donated to the American Cancer Society, an organization JSW supported every year by donating and playing music at Relay for Life. Our donation will go towards cancer research, patient services, early detection, treatment, and education.
In the words of JSW...
Peace, Love, & Inner Bliss,

Street Joy makes honeyed rock and roll that’s still rough around the edges--a rock and roll with Northern California roots that have thrived in the Southern California sun. The songwriting is that of the cassettes a dad would show his son on car rides to baseball practice, and the production pulls from the music that son would later discover from his dorm room neighbor. Street Joy is easy to understand and hard to ignore.
