"We are excited and look forward to playing our songs for y’all at this year's Jam," says Owen. "We have a true mutual love for our fans, and they always support the band and the June Jam Foundation."
"When we started the first June Jam in 1982 as a charity concert event, it was attended by over 30,000 fans," explains Gentry. "At the time, it was the largest country music festival in the United States. Now we are getting ready for our 18th concert. We want to welcome everyone to Fort Payne, Alabama, our hometown. Come have a great time and help others in need!"
June Jam, as in years past, will benefit those in need and disaster relief in and around the state of Alabama. Tickets are on-sale now via ticketmaster.com, as well as the ALABAMA Fan Club & Museum (101 Glenn Blvd SW, Fort Payne, AL 35967).
