Welcome to the July JamBase Newsletter! So by now you've probably had at least one morning this summer where you've awoken in a sea of tents, RVs and sticky sleeping bags, your buddy tugging at your shirt muttering something about this awesome band playing at the Main Stage. Maybe you closed your eyes and went back to sleep. More than likely you dragged yourself up and got your booty shaking at the ungodly hour of 10am! Ahh, we love festivals! Check out our Festival Guide to find out what's happening near you.

Click the arrows below for the most up-to-date information on all the happenings in our musical world. And don't spend too long on your computer! Get out and Go See Live Music!

OUR NEW FAVORITE BAND
BOCKMAN'S EUPHIO
Bockman's Euphio is a four-piece rock band from St. Louis that became our new fave at High Sierra. Their name was inspired Dr. Bockman's invention in a Vonnegut story called a Euphio which transmitted feelings of happiness via radio signals from space. The band is successful at this transmission right from the stage! MORE »
