Ever wonder how The Jam Sessions in Thunder Valley got its start?

Back in 2011, our founder and head honcho Ron McFall helped Katie Lemkemann organize a benefit concert for local legend Robin Crowe at the Expo Gardens.

Through the planning process and the event itself, Ron realized something powerful: there was a real need for gatherings that celebrated and supported local musicians.

The Peoria music scene has always been a family.

Musicians here are quick to rally around one another, whether that means donating their time for benefits, helping raise money and awareness, or simply showing up to support fellow artists. But one thing working musicians rarely get the chance to do is relax, connect with other bands, and actually enjoy the music around them.

Ron wanted to change that.

What started at the Expo Gardens for The Robin Crowe Family Fundraiser, was an idea to give back to the musicians that always step up to help those in need. So, Ron asked Katie to help organize The Jam Sessions at Expo in March 2013. Then to Ron's backyard a couple times a year for two days of music before finally finding its permanent home in Thunder Valley in 2017.

Over the years, The Jam Sessions has grown into an annual tradition and fundraiser for the Peoria Motorcycle Club, whose continued support helps make this incredible weekend possible year after year.

At its core, The Jam Sessions has always been about community, musicians supporting musicians, and creating a place where local music can thrive. And honestly? That spirit is still alive and loud every single year. 🎸

Today, we pause the amps, the lights, and the noise to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom.

From all of us at The Jam Sessions in Thunder Valley, thank you to every service member, veteran, and military family for your sacrifice, courage, and commitment to this country.

Because of you, we’re able to gather with friends, share music, make memories, and celebrate the freedoms we often take for granted.

This Memorial Day, we remember the fallen, honor the heroes, and hold their families close in our hearts.

See you in Thunder Valley. ❤️🤍💙
