FiestaJAM 2015 on Lake Marble Falls
Internationally known area bands, such as Cory Morrow, The Wilson String Band, John Arthur Martinez & Tejas, Zach Nytomt, and others, will perform over the course of the two-day festival. Vintner Rick Naber promises, “Exceptional music, wine and beer, plus the wonderful Lake Marble Falls setting are the ingredients for a perfect fall weekend.”
FiestaJAM also raises funds for music programs in Marble Falls Independent School District and the nonprofit Harmony School of Creative Arts. Musical artist john Arthur Martinez co-founded FiestaJAM with Grammy-nominated conductor/producer Robert Linder. Martinez says, “With so much musical talent around me, from Grammy-winning performers and songwriters to amazing unknowns, I wanted to celebrate this vast array of talent and to give back to the next generation of musical dreamers.”
In addition, a new sculpture by renowned local artist Dan Pogue will be dedicated as part of the festivities. FiestaJAM organizers and the community joined forces to provide funding for the statue of long-time Marble Falls resident and western-swing/honky-tonk pioneer Floyd Tillman, an inductee in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Festival activities will center on Lakeside Park, 307 Buena Vista, Marble Falls, TX. Friday’s highlights include dedication of the statue, a VIP reception catered by RBar Grill, and, of course, music.
