ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, August 25, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3C ENTERPRISE Music festival jams for 10th year Juniper Jam features 15 acts East Oregonian Original music takes center stage as more than a dozen musical acts converge on Wallowa County for Juni- per Jam. In its 10th year, the fes- tival features folk, country, Americana, roots, rock and blues. Also, festival-goers can enjoy food and drinks, local artisans and children’s activities. Juniper Jam is Saturday, Sept. 1 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Wal- lowa County Fairgrounds in Enterprise. While the musical genres vary, festival director Janis Carper said the common thread is original music — honoring the song and its writer. This year’s lineup includes TK & the Holy Know-Nothings, featuring Portland songwriter Taylor Kingman surrounded by an all-star band, including Jay Cobb Anderson and Tyler Thompson (Fruition), Joshua Simon (Shook Twins) and Lewi Longmire (Left Coast Roasters, Brothers & Sis- ter). This “favorite side proj- ect” recorded a live album last December with engi- neer Bart Budwig at Enter- prise’s OK Theatre. Also taking the stage is the Don of Division Street fronted by Matt Cadenelli (Wander- lodge, The Deadstring Fam- ily Band, Brothers & Sister, Anita Lee & the Handsome 3) along with guitarist Anita Lee Elliot, who will be per- forming at the festival with her band Anita Lee & the Handsome 3. “This is one of the most exciting things about this year’s lineup,” Carper said, “the cross-pollina- tion between bands. It really emphasizes the ‘jam’ in Juni- per Jam.” Contributed photo Contributed photo Shane Cooley & the Midnight Girls from Austin, Texas, offer roots and Americana music with a bit of rock and pop. Anita Lee Elliot will perform country-edged rock with her band, Anita Lee & the Handsome 3. Contributed photo Contributed photo The Mondegreens bring alternative rock from Seattle.
