Fairview Parks Department has announced the schedule for the upcoming Starlight Jams at Bowie Nature Park. The Starlight Jams are a whole new concert series that include picking parties. Performers include a mix of local, regional, and national performers all in the Americana and Bluegrass type genera.

September 25th Johnny Campbell & The Bluegrass Drifters will be sticking strictly to the roots of first generation bluegrass musicians, promising to bring enthusiasm and charisma to an often mislabeled musical category. Opening for The Bluegrass Drifters will be Dan and Thandiwe with Fairview Guitar and Repair.

Starlight Jams are Friday nights running through October. The events are from 7:00-10:00PM. Each month will include live Americana music on the main stage. Pickers are encouraged to bring their instruments and find a spot under the trees to jam. The goal is to provide a place for musicians to get together and play and for music lovers to have a place to go and enjoy great music in a laid back, family friendly environment under the stars.

Gates open at 6:30pm. A suggested donation of $5/adult is requested. All money collected will go back in to the music program at Bowie Nature Park. Park Staff recommends you bring your own blankets and folding chairs. You could even bring a picnic dinner or snack. Water and soft drinks will be available for purchase. The event is rain or shine. The event will be moved inside in case of inclement weather.
