The Moondance Jam has been held at the same location in Walker since 1992. This year marks the 20th edition of the festival, which was started by resident Bill Bieloh. This year’s event will serve as a tribute to Bill, who passed away last September. The Moondance Jam and its sister festival, Moondance Jamming Country Fest, help bring thousands of music fans to the Walker area every summer. Its bucolic location, situated near a huge lake on a site located three hours northwest of Minneapolis, houses thousands of camping sites during the festivals, and has been cited by many as to why they return year after year to Walker for the shows.
0 Moondance Jam to Be Broadcast on DirectTV Concert Series
For the first time in its 19-year history, the Moondance Jam rock festival will be broadcast on television. America’s premier television provider, DIRECTV, will air the 2010 festival exclusively on The 101 Network. Blaze TV filmed performances during the festival last July 15 – 17 and are producing ten one hour shows featuring Moondance Jam main stage acts. The programs will air as part of the DIRECTV Concert Series and begin airing on The 101 Network this November.
Here is the schedule so far. More shows will be added soon:
- Saturday 11/20: REO Speedwagon
- Monday 11/22: REO Speedwagon
- Saturday 12/11 Buckcherry
- Monday 12/13 Buckcherry
- Saturday 12/18 Sammy Hagar
- Monday 12/20 REO Speedwagon
- Monday 12/27 Jonny Lang
This news comes as the staff and fans of the festival continue to mourn the passing of festival founder Bill Bieloh. Bill passed away in the morning hours of September 24. His legacy can never be put into words, but perhaps a small part of what he meant to the bands, fans and staff of the Moondance Jam festivals will be apparent when you watch these performances from the 2010 festival.
0 Moondance Jam Rock Festival to be Featured in HD as part of DIRECTV’s Concert Series on The 101 Network
For the first time in its 19 year history, the Moondance Jam rock festival will be broadcast on television. America’s premier television provider,
DIRECTV, will air this year’s festival exclusively on The 101 Network. The production company Blaze TV will be filming during the festival on July 15 – 17, and will then produce 10 one-hour shows featuring artists Sammy Hagar, REO Speedwagon, Buckcherry, Jonny Lang, Hoobastank, Collective Soul, Black Stone Cherry and Pat Travers. Additional artists may also be added from the three-day, 15 band main stage roster. The programs will air as part of the DIRECTV Concert Series and begin airing on The 101 Network late this summer.
“Blaze will have a crew of over 50 creative and technical personnel to record the programs at Moondance Jam using a total of 12 cameras and are employing as much
local labor as they can including some camera crew from Minneapolis. The programs will be recorded in High Definition and the audio will be recorded in Surround sound. It is a million dollar production. In addition to the cameras and sound, Blaze will be bringing in $100,000 worth of additional lighting to boost the production value of the shows,” said Blaze TV founder, producer and director, Conor McAnally. Moondance Jam owners, Bill and Kathy Bieloh, are ecstatic to be able to have their festival filmed and produced by a production company whose philosophy is to shoot from the fan’s perspective.
“Not only are we excited that our festival will be shown on DIRECTV, but it will be produced by a company that shares our philosophy that it is about the fans. Kathy and I started Moondance Jam in 1992 as party for friends and family and now it has grown into Minnesota’s largest rock festival bringing in over 50,000 friends and family through the gates over three days,” says Bill Bieloh. “Over the years we have always done everything we could to keep Moondance Jam a fan friendly rock festival. We still maintain open festival seating for general admission ticket holders so they can get up close to the stage. We also added a restaurant and bar that overlooks the backstage area a few years ago that is open to all fans. Our fans need to have that full concert experience for the amazing artists that put on such great shows every year. So to have Blaze TV come in and recreate that experience for fans that have never been to Moondance is a dream come true for us.”

The Red Rocker returns to Walker during a limited run of summer dates that take him away from the studio and work on the new Chickenfoot record. Vic Johnson, Mona and David Lauser will join Sammy during a typical Waborita party on Thursday night that should include all of Hagar’s solo hits along with songs from Montrose and Van Halen.
Cinderella is back on the road after a three-year break away from the limelight as vocalist Tom Keifer recovered from throat problems. Now singing again at full strength, one of rock’s unique voices will front this 80’s favorite as the band plays a greatest hits set. Travers makes his first ever appearance at the Jam, his guitar pyrotechnics still thrilling rock fans after over 30 years on the road. Black Stone Cherry is also making its first appearance here, and the band’s modern southern rock style fits in perfectly with Lynyrd Skynyrd on Saturday. Tonic debuts at the festival with a new single “Release Me,” rising the charts.
In addition to the three day main stage line-up, a Pre Jammin party will be held on Wednesday, July 14 with local favorites Hairball headlining on the main stage. Many more acts will play the regional stage in the saloon on all three days of the festival.
