The ninth annual Beaver Dam Jam is set to kick off in May 6 and will run through May 8 in Littlefield, Ariz. The outdoor venue will host up to 15 bands in a variety of genres as well as food and beverage vendors.
The festival is organized by Bill Evans, owner of Beaver Dam Station.
“We just thought, nothing ever happens in Beaver Dam, so we started this and it has always been fun,” he said. “It gets bigger and better every year.”
Evans said the majority of people who attend are from Mesquite, St. George, and Cedar City. But as the event’s notoriety builds, people from as far away as Salt Lake City and Los Angeles are making the trek for the all-weekend event.
On May 6, the event runs from 2 to 10 p.m. outside with Joe Sherman, Freeze Warning, Aura Surreal, Mister Hyde. Gunlock County will play in the bar from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. May 8, it runs from noon to 10 pm outside with Most Wanted, Highway Poets, Soul What!?, Jensen Buck and the Family, and Cat Fish John. Wirelephant will play inside the bar from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. May 9, it runs from noon to 7 p.m. with Joe Sherman, Dakota Nights, Tommy Rocker, and Flyah Rootz. Attendees must be 21 or older to enter the bar.
Tickets are $45 and can be purchased the day of the show. People camping and kids 12 and younger get in free. Advance tickets are available at Beaver Dam Station and Bar, located at 411 N. Old Pioneer Rd. in Littlefield. For more information, visit the Beaver Dam Jam Facebook page or call (928) 347-5589.
