Good morning folks! TONS of community today at Faraway place, and a fresh ACOUSTIC TREATMENT inside the venue.

We are pleased to bring you the last installment of Moonbadger's Wednesday Night Summer Series! This week we will have Dig Deep on the 400 block stage from 6-8pm, & it’s always a treat when the boys are in town.

Then, we will have Dandelion Delivery Service from 8-9pm outside Faraway Pl. on the street corner, followed by a Super Jam hosted by Moonbadger (Featuring members of Dig Deep, Dandelion Delivery Service, Kevin Troestler Band, and Earthlight). This will be held inside on the Faraway stage that now has its first round of acoustic treatment installed to bring you a safer and higher-fidelity listening experience!

I'm sure at this point it may seem like Billy Bronsted is staff member, but in reality he isn't even on our payroll. The amount that this man has done for us and the community is beyond words. Starting with building the stage, Billy constantly does everything he can to make our venue better. To make our community better. To give a space to musicians young and old who deserve it. It is extremely refreshing to have a friend that genuinely wants better for everyone around him. Billy took it upon himself to reach out to the community to help us pull off sound treatment throughout the space - and this is only the beginning. We'll continue to do everything we can to make things better for all of you, and would also like to personally thank all who contributed their time or resources to this first round of acoustic treatment:

Jeff Bloom & Gina Vega
Ty Fischer
Josh “Stovepipe” Stephens
Grant Heim
Jordan Langmeyer
Charlie Karls
Andy Ledesma
Dylan White
Tom Bronsted

We're extremely grateful for each and every one of you. Cheers to all the shows and great times to follow. See you all tonight!

We're going to be opening up the season the right way: with a lil' Honk and Tonk alongside The Good vs. The Ugly. Head on over to Faraway Place at noon to catch Alex Dalnodar, Kevin Troestler & Oscar C. Noetzel with the tunes, right up until game time at 3:25pm. We'll be serving all beef hot dogs on top of our regular menu of smash burgers, fried chicken, mac & cheese and more. There's not a bad seat in the house to watch the game - with 3 large projectors and other TVs throughout alongside full surround sound.

We've got an absolutely STACKED Wednesday night coming at you to finish off Moonbadger's Summer Concert Series. First, we'll be blessed with our friends from Dig Deep on the 400 Block stage. Immediately after at 8pm, catch Dandelion Delivery Service rippin' on the street corner. If that isn't enough, Moonbadger will be joined inside by members of Dig Deep, Kevin Troestler Band, and Earthlight and perhaps even a second healthy dose of Dandelion. The one and only Reed Banals will be on visuals with Nicholas J. Scholes on lights and Charlie Karls on sound. Sheeeesh we've got some cool friends.....

Don't forget to support these amazing artists and many others by grabbing your tickets to The Jackpine Jamboree!

In Episode 4 of "Jordan Tastes the Menu", Jordan tries The Butterfäce - our most popular specialty burger. Will he agree with the masses, or will he agree with Googler JM that the "butter burger wasn't that good didn't even finish it"?? Is JM actually Jordan Moonbadger?!?! Only one way to find out: Show up to Moonbadger's last show of the Summer Series on September 2nd
