Nate Kieser of First Date Kiss went rogue at played and danced off stage with some of the smallest members of the audience.
The Jam Sessions in Thunder Valley at the Peoria Motorcycle Club were a blast last weekend and there was so much great music that we’re splitting up the coverage over two weeks!
Friday night's lineup was talent-packed - opening with Mallory Coons and the National Anthem. Doc and Friends was up next, followed by The Boogish (A Ween tribute), Matt Miller Band, First Date Kiss, and Linzie Borden. Check out the photos and videos here. We'll have more posting on YouTube and Facebook in the coming weeks.
Thanks to everyone who has continued their support or who has stepped up to support PML and HP this last month!
This festival is fantastic on so many levels - the price for a full weekend, kids get in free, all the bands are local, but one of my favorite parts is seeing kid falling in love with the music.
Here is the update on my $40,000 goal - After nearly 6 weeks, we are at $7357!
My side jobs are winding down a bit, giving me more time for creating websites and handling social media for some local artists. If you’re interested in what that might look like for you or your band, please reach out!

As you read through your options to make your decisions, remember:
You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
appreciate what we do?
