the world's first indoor music and camping festival: Boogie In The Bungalow.
Join us Saturday, December 6, 2008 in Kempton, Pennsylvania (at the exact location as our "Some Kind Of Jam 3" festival last April) as we host 9 unique musical acts for a heated, electrified, slumber party.
Tickets are $25 per person for this "bring your own bungalow" event, with ample space provided for your listening and relaxing pleasure. Directions, band descriptions, and more information are listed below.
Both the indoor venue and the adjoining basketball court are fully heated and electrified. The main venue will be used primarily for music and the adjoining facility will be used for indoor camping. Patrons can bring air mattresses, set up a tent, or build their very own bungalow. What's the alternative? Stay up all night.
There will be food vending in-house and craft vending on tables throughout the buildings. Alcohol consumption is 21+/BYOB/no glass bottles. Gates open at 1:00PM and music will begin at 3:00PM and continue through the night with sound & video projection by TRW Productions. Also, a food drive is being organized by Root For Change and Strangers Helping Strangers with a commemorative poster for the first 100 people that donate at least five cans of food.
RULES
No Glass
No Gas
No Pets
No Indoor Grilling
No Illegal Substances
Due to the indoor nature of the event, we will only be working with a set amount of space. We encourage you to bring your camping gear but discourage the use of oversize tents. In most cases, an air mattress, sleeping bag or small tent should be enough to get you through the night. We encourage groups of friends to bring materials to build your own bungalow: sheets, tapestries, clothespins, etc. Whoever builds the best bungalow wins the Jibberjazz prize package!
THE BIG DIRTY - 11:30PM
TBD delivers from a wide palette that finds a place among any audience that enjoys soulful, inspiring, fresh, and creative instrumentation. From hard-nosed critics to casual listeners who just want to get their groove on, this band satisfies with a sonically innovative style that is difficult to pinpoint but easy to get down to.
CABINET - 1:30AM
Coviello and his mandolin-playing songwriting partner JP Biondo formed the nucleus of Cabinet before the rest of the band came along. Pat Biondo recently moved to the area and started to learn how to play banjo. Todd Kopec adds another bluegrassy element dynamic with his fiddle while Dylan Skursky's nimble fingers on the upright bass supplement the rest of the ensemble and 3 & 4 part harmonies are a regular part of the show.
FROG HOLLER - 9:30PM
Their music is presented with such humility that it's obvious riches are not the payoff for this six-piece, but rather the opportunity to play its music to a widening national audience and having charted a course of its own volition.
JIMKATA - 7:30PM
Influenced by the 90's childhoods of its' members, the music calls upon the likes of Rage Against the Machine, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ween, Dr. Dre, and the Chemical Brothers. Now they are on an endless pursuit to find a sound that is both new and timeless. Although inspired by the world of improvisational music, Jimkata focuses on song structure, textures, layers, and vibrant lyrics. By the end of a Jimkata show you will leave feeling explosive, powerful and alive.
BUTTERJIVE - 5:30PM
An upbeat instrumental quintet that thrives on improvisation and groove in a live atmosphere. Full of twists, turns, and genre-bending compositions, Butterjive's catalog contains everything from funk to rock to reggae to latin and beyond. Think Medeski, Martin & Wood jamming with the Wailers and Santana, sans vocals, and you're in Butterjive's ballpark. With too many influences to list, it's easy to see why this band has something for everyone.
WANDERING ROOT - 3:00PM

TWEENER ACTS:
KYLE MORGAN

Though his music is unique and captivating, it also maintains a certain warmth, the familiarity of home. Kyle seeks to find a balance between exploration and rest.
TOMM DUNN
Genuine, foot stompin', smokin', no-holds-barred Delta blues. Dunn's gritty voice sings of love, lust, lousy jobs and worse luck...carrying the blues forward & the river keeps flowing just the same.
ERIK FROM BALTIMORE
He plays his guitar like a eagle gliding on a strong southern breeze or a gazelle skipping through the tall grass...yes, it's second nature to this folk spudling. He'll sing you a tune or play you a jig that'll bring you back home. Erik from Baltimore is home-grown folk, blues and all acoustic classic rock.
