Hey everyone. Jemfest is right around the corner and we have some cool bands lined up to play. We'll soon make that announcement later. I can assure you we'll have at least one Favored Nations artist and several Ibanez endorsers 8). Anyway, here are the details on this years Jemfest:
Date/Time:
Friday, May 21st - Doors open at 5PM
Saturday, May 22nd - Doors open at 5PM
Event Cost:
FREE!!!! We do ask for donations though. Afterall putting an event on like this costs thousands of dollars - that's the only way we can make this happen every year!
Location/Hotel Info:
Orlando, Florida - Holiday Inn at International Drive (Close to the parks)

Every year we have a blast. There's so much to do in Orlando and they treat us nice at the Holiday Inn. Plus every night we party with guitars and booze in the hotel room suite! Rooms with 2 queen beds are a discounted $72 a night. We're able to work deals out with the Hotels because of the nature of our event, amount of business we/you bring them, and because Kevan is awesome at working out good deals. We only have a limited amount of rooms for that price, so when we announce the groupcode you better jump on it fast to get the discount.
Jemfest is a non-profit organization who donates all proceeds to Steve Vai's Make a Noise Foundation. All the artists who pay are not compensated for their performance. They do it all in the name of a good cause! How cool is that?
In short, we're putting on a kick-ass concert over 2 days with amazingly talented musicians. Many who you know, and many who you don't know... yet. So far we've had 34 different musicians from all over the world play at Jemfest in the last 5 years at our US, UK, and Germany Jemfests. Oh, bring your guitar (Doesn't have to be a Jem!) because you'll get an opportunity to jam on stage with the big boys! Plus we have wonderful raffles and tons of free stuff to give out! Everyone will get something! I promise!
Bring your guitars! We'll have tables setup to show off your prized beauty.
Oh, and lastly, here's our website. Go check it out. Right now!
