Well the first SummerCamp 2006 news has been circulating. Fliers were handed out at the Keller Williams and Umphrey’s McGee New Year’s Eve shows, according to LiveMusicBlog.com. For those of you who haven’t heard of the SummerCamp, it’s a three-night festival held in Chillicothe, IL, just outside of Peoria a little to the North. Many of the artists featured are Canopy Club (of Chambana) regulars, seeing as the festival is held by Jay Goldberg Events & Entertainment Promotions, who I believe are the owners of Canopy, or at least they do all of Canopy’s promotion/booking. The following information has been confirmed so far, and I’ll update when I hear more.
May 26,27,28 (Friday-Sunday nights, and there’s usually a little party on the Thursday night before)
- moe. (3 nights)
- Umphrey’s McGee (2 nights)
- Keller Williams
- Over 40 bands with additional late night shows
Tickets go on sale Jan. 7 (early-bird tickets of $85 until supplies last or until March)
