SummerJam 06 News

You came to the right place.

 Troy & Gary weigh in here.

The Jam to end all Jams!

It is going to take a while to get everything up and posted about SummerJam06, but while we do that, there are some things that need to be said right now! First of all, a heartfelt thank you! to the folks at the Vous. This was not easy for Dave, Todd,  Gary, who did a superb job of running sound under difficult conditions, Dewey, the bartenders, the waitstaff, or the security guys, but they did a fantastic job, and we cannot possibly thank them enough. Special thanks to our own Troy Silvers for making the trip from Superior to do reviews. One handed too! One thing that would help is for all the folks that came and enjoyed the Jam and the Vous to get out there and take in some of their great food, drinks & entertainment.

 

 

Sponsors

 

Also, we have to mention all the sponsors that donated so much for the door prizes. Lots of people won something. The sponsors were: (in no particular order)

Best wishes to the folks from Conflict, and we hope everything gets back on track..we'll look for you at WinterJam07!

Also, a special thanks to John (Big Dad) for being our stand-by drummer, and to Daryl Councilman for being our stand-by bassist!

Thanks also to Pam, Sue, and Ruth, who managed the tickets, the wristbands, the band check-in, the door prize tickets, the T-shirt sales, and many other things too numerous to mention, all the while maintaining good humor and having a good time! In amongst all that, they kept Norm and I sane! Big thanks to Dave from Brew Buddies, you the man!

Finally..but most importantly, thank you to all the readers, friends, fellow musicians, fans, and the people that just showed up because the Vous was open and decided to pay the cover and stay. We hope you found something to your liking that will inspire you to see the bands that were in attendance when they play, and to stop in at the Vous to check their bands out as well. You made our day!
