The Third Annual Jam Fest will take place at the Belmont on Saturday, November 14th from 3 to 7 pm. Seven bands ranging in age from 10-18 are scheduled to take one of two stages that will be set up for the 5-hour event and fundraiser for Eanes Education Foundation. The event is sponsored by The Kids are Alright Festival and Dr. Randy Kunik, the originator of the first event.
Randy Kunik, well known as an orthodontist in Austin, started the Jam Fest in 2007, not only as a charity fundraiser, but as a way to show appreciation for his young patients that were up and coming musicians. “Kunikpalooza", as it was originally named, featured several bands and was at the leading edge of a trend to recognize and mentor youth interested in playing music.
