2020 - We are trying to keep the tradition Alive!

After 42 years, our resilient Volunteer Staff, was not ready to throw in the towel. The goal was still to have a great 42nd JUNE JAM with lots of superb Music, have a good time for all and raise some much-needed funds for Toys for Tots and our Veterans.

The challenge has been to do it safely and satisfy the State of Delaware.

Many of our Staff have rallied to meet the challenges. It’s been difficult but we made it with extra effort.

The positive response from many of our attendees, es-pecially those that return every year, has been out-standing and YOU ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

It’s time to Rock in October!!!

Bob Hartley – Founding President

That’s all Folks! See You Next Year!

We are extremely pleased to present a reunion of the band “Hot Wire”. Hot Wire dominated the area music scene for a decade. From 1987 to 1998, the Dover-area band was one of the most popular on the scene, performing around Delaware, Philadelphia and as far away as Virginia and West Virginia. Consisting of Mr. Foltz on drums, lead singer Dale Hamil-ton, guitarist and vocalist Jimi Brown and bassist and vo-calist Bill Precourt, Hotwire performed in the heyday of the Dover nightclub scene. Now, all of the original band members are reuniting for this very special JUNE JAM performance with Dale Hamil-ton on vocals, Jimmy Brown on guitar, Bill Precourt on bass and Chris Foltz pounding the drums. Get ready for HOT WIRE!

HOT WIRE Reunion

B.J. Munz (bass), Paul Weik (drummer), Jake Banaszak (guitar) Inductees of the Delaware Blues Hall of Fame, Lower Case Blues has shared the stage with heavy hitters like Grand Funk Railroad, which performed at Dover In-ternational Speedway on the day of its 100th race last week. The trio has also opened for Robert Randolph, Buddy Guy and others. The Rehoboth Beach-based band played in the first Firefly Music Festival in 2012.

From the Festival organizers say they’ll be ready The 42nd June Jam won’t happen next month. But festival founder Bob Hartley is confi-dent they’ll get to Jam on their new date, which is Aug. 15, he told the Dover Post today. Hartley said he’ll make a formal announcement about the postponement of his festi-val (held at the G&R Recreational Campground in Houston) on either June 2 or June 3. Despite not sharing that information on his website yet, the festival founder is assured the charity fundraiser will do well in August. That’s because, “it’s [been] very surprising that our core supporters are still buying tickets and buying camp sites, even when they’re not certain we’re gonna have the event,” he said. Hartley and his team have been holding weekly virtual meetings to discuss how they’ll be able to host the festival in a way that meets the state’s new COVID-19 guidelines. June Jam organizers are currently in the planning phase and are being advised by medi-cal experts on how they can make the event as safe and fun as possible, he said. One thing Hartley revealed is they’ll place bales of hay 10 feet in front of the stage, helping patrons to social distance from performers. Patrons will also be reminded to social dis-tance among themselves on the spacious festival grounds. ″ We’ve got 30 acres, so you can spread out with your own little group or family and have a little picnic-type barbecue and listen to music,” Hartley said. “Our great sound system transmits throughout the whole 30 acres, so I think we’re in pretty good shape, as op-posed to someone who has an indoor venue.” Magnificent seven Seven acts are in the lineup and the biggest one is the national Tom Petty tribute band Damn The Torpedoes. There’s also Jason Morton and the Chesapeake Sons, Hotwire, Joey Fulkerson & Nothin But Trouble, Scrapple, Tenfold Trouble and Petting Hendrix. Hartley said Jason Morton is a Nashville band with a lot of promise, while Hotwire was one of Delaware’s most popular bands for 10 years. Hotwire is gonna play a reunion show at the festival. “We have seven bands that are very anxious to play and we’re very anxious to show them off,” Hartley said. The June Jam founder, who’s seen Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tom Petty live about six times, said tribute band Damn The Torpedoes is the real deal. “A lot of people didn’t get a chance to see Tom Petty. I did, I got a chance to see him at Firefly,” Hartley said. “If you wanna hear Tom Petty, this is the closest you’re gonna get. “I had backstage passes to Tom Petty, Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan down in DC when he played the RFK Stadium years ago. I saw him play with Stevie Nix when they each had songs out together,” he added. “I’ve been a Petty fan from way back.” Festival for a cause June Jam is a nonprofit organization made up of 100 volunteers. While the namesake festival is one of the organization’s primary events, the nonprofit does more than that. It raises funds year-round for local people in need and for charitable organizations through-out Delmarva. The idea for June Jam started in 1978 after Hartley’s classmate at Caesar Rodney High School became one of three men who got electrocuted while repairing a roof. One man died. In 1979 the nonprofit was born and proceeds were raised to benefit the two survi-vors. The organization has raised around $1 million. Fingers crossed Under the state’s latest COVID-19 guidelines, outdoor gatherings of 250 people will be allowed starting June 1. Hartley said June Jam attracts about 1,000 guests. The festival organizer is hopeful the state will allow for more guests in time for his August festival. But he’s also prepared to deal with whatever cards he’s dealt, he explained. “I think August is a good date because it’s still in the summer time and it’s far enough away that hopefully [positive COVID-19 cases] will continue to trend downward,” he said. “Our intention is to have a June Jam in some way, some form, somehow at G&R Campground in 2020.”

THE 42nd ANNUAL JUNE JAM MUSIC FESTIVAL

Jason Morton and The Chesapeake Sons are a

talented bunch, but they’re also a working-class

group, determined to keep a firm hold on the

everyday-American spirit at the heart of their

music.

Jason Morton and The Chesapeake Sons owes

their geographical roots to the Atlantic sea-

board, but its sonic heritage connects the band

firmly to The Black Crowes, the Allman Brothers

Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Marshall Tucker

Band.
