Bluesberry Jam came out of Los Angeles and were among the three most popular blues bands of that era, the other two being Pacific Gas & Electric and Canned Heat.
Canned Heat shared their first musical bill with Bluesberry Jam at the Magic Mushroom in Los Angeles.
The turning point was one night when Bluesberry Jam were playing at the Magic Mushroom sharing the same bill with Canned Heat, there were others watching de la Parra for a certain reason.
[6] This was actually arranged by Skip Taylor the manager so that Canned Heat's members could watch Bluesberry Jam drummer Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra at work.
Al Walton who was a member of an early version of Pacific Gas & Electric left to Join Bluesberry Jam.
[2] There are sites that credit future Pacific Gas & Electric front man Charlie Allen as being the drummer for Bluesberry Jam.
