Summary

The High Land Jam is in its 5th season and will take place September 1-4, 2006. The event has two stages of nonstop music and 20 performance slots two of which are reserved for Sonicbids artists. Selected artists will be compensated for their performance either through ticket sales or a fee negotiated with the promoter, depending on the artist.

The High Land Jam is on The Pegasus Farm in Elkins, West Virginia surrounded by 3,000 foot mountains. Nicely isolated, the High Land Jam ZENfest is on 40 acres of protected private land. It is our land and we want to share our land with nice people. The High Land Jam ZENfest evolved out of extensive traveling to other festivals. After hearing so many wonderfully talented artists we wanted to take them out of their respective regions and bring them all together. The High Land Jam, then, is a musical feast of extremely talented artists. Some you have heard of, but we guarantee you haven't heard all of them!

The event is sponsored by Dog Eared Moon Productions. Past performers include ZEN Tricksters, Perpetual Groove, Bone Pony, Johnny Staats, ZEN, Vince Welnick, 2nd Naycha, Hillbilly Gypsies, Cherylann Hawk, Hillary Murray, Big Metal Rooster, Escape Goat, Almighty Senators.

The High Land Jam is looking for original music and jam bands, although we also invite world music, bluegrass, jamgrass, jazz, hip-hop and rock. We also have room for single acts and duos. We are looking for unique and talented unknown bands.

Music fans and musicians can come and enjoy good music, good people and good times!

Please note: Artists who are offered a performance with their compensation package being through selling tickets have the option to play for free without selling tickets.

About The HighLandJam

Elkins, West Virginia, USA

The High Land Jam is held every year in late summer at the Pegasus Farm Campground in Elkins, West Virginia.Elkins is a medium-sized rural community located in the Tygart River Valley. It is the Randolph County seat and the center of services for the surrounding counties.The Pegasus Farm is an ideal setting. Although just five minutes from town and the conveniences you need, the Farm is totally isolated. It is located in the center of the Tygart Valley — to the west is the highest mountain chain east of the Rockies (the Laurel and Rich Mountains, both over 4,000 feet high); to the east, rolling hills that lead into town, and eventually to another mountain chain, again over 4,000 feet in elevation. From the center of the campground, you can see all the mountains all around you! The southern and northern boundaries are marked with a quiet, clear-water run and the deep waters of Chenoweth Creek, a very large creek that empties into the Tygart River. On the other side of these waterways are hundreds of acres of pasture land and cornfields.The Pegasus Farm is a fully developed campground, complete with bathhouse, indoor toilets, developed campsites, water and electric hookup sites, and full-hookups for RVs. This development has changed the structure of the ticket prices which are listed on the Tickets page. Rustic camping is still available in the area we call "the lower 20". It's the land across the railroad tracks that offers lots of space to camp and roam, a new pond, and some forest land.OTHER STUFFNot to mention the two covered outdoor stages, over 15 bands, and good times, family area available.
