This weekend’s live music list is packed with photos and videos from Day Two of Jam Sessions in Thunder Valley including The Boogish, Fusion Mellow, The Nighthawks, Broken Mojo, Captain Crayfish, and Boomstick!
While you’re checking those out, you can mix and match the tracks in your holiday weekend soundtrack using our weekend live music list. There is plenty of live local music to choose from in the Peoria Area, all weekend long!
We look forward to this festival every year, and once again the Peoria Motorcycle Club was the perfect place to spend a weekend enjoying great music and great people.
Take a look through this list, make your plans, and if Jam Sessions gave you a taste for festival season, don't forget that Open Skies Music Festival is just a couple of weeks away!
If you haven’t checked out our YouTube lately - take a look! We’ve got new videos being added every day.
