The June Jam returns to Fort Payne on June 3rd of this year (2023) according to an announcement from ALABAMA members Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry.

That announcement came as the band members recently accepted the V.I. Prewett Lifetime Achievement Award at the Fort Payne Chamber of Commerce Banquet along with Lisa Cook, wife of late ALABAMA member Jeff Cook.  June Jam is expected to return at the VFW Fairgrounds in Fort Payne.

The festival was one of the biggest country music events in the nation for 16 years as people from across the state, the country and around the world made the trip to take advantage of the huge charity event.  The first one was in 1982, with the last being held in 1997.  The lineup for this year’s event has yet to be announced – we’ll have more information as it becomes available.
