Juniper Jam 2011 - Labor Day Weekend
The Wallowa Valley Music Alliance is excited to be in preparation for the third annual JUNIPER JAM - The sweetest little music festival in Eastern Oregon! The big event takes place on Saturday, September 3, 2011 (that’s Labor Day Weekend) at the Wallowa County Fairgrounds in Enterprise, Oregon. This fun-filled day of music starts at 11:00 AM and continues non-stop all day until about 10:00 PM. Festival-goers will enjoy many styles of music including folk, country, Americana and blues, as well as great food and drink, plus children’s activities. Tickets for the event are $10, kids six and under are free. Gates open at 10:00 AM, and there’s plenty of free parking around the fairgrounds area.
Musicians from around the Northwest will join our local and regional talent to provide a showcase of entertainment that will please a wide audience. A favorite at last year’s festival, Corn Mash from Moscow, Idaho returns to the Juniper Jam stage this year with the full rockin’ linup. Juniper Jam 2009 audiences will be pleased that James Dean Kindle and the Eastern Oregon Playboys from Pendleton are also returning. Our new friends Fruition String Band will visit from Portland and we’ll also be hearing Jonathan Warren and the Billy Goats from Boise. Newcomers to Wallowa County will be The Kevin Jones Band from Seattle and Buffalo Death Beam from the Moscow/Pullman area. Simon Tucker returns for a performance with local pals Carolyn Lochert and Janis Carper, and Sons of Guns from La Grande, Oregon, and Chase Nebel from Enterprise round out the roster of fine musicians who will be sharing their music with Juniper Jammers this Labor Day Weekend!
Although the musical genres presented at JUNIPER JAM are varied, the common thread is original music – honoring the song and its writer. Not all of the performers will be playing exclusively original material, but that will be the emphasis for most of the artists.
Tickets for JUNIPER JAM are $10 (kids six and under free). Purchase your tickets online here or at the following Wallowa County merchants: Lear’s Main Street Pub & Grill and The Bookloft in Enterprise, Beecrowbee and Mt. Joseph Family Foods in Joseph, The Blonde Strawberry in Wallowa and The Lostine Tavern.
