Bellforge Presents Free "CAM JAM" Music Festival

The Bellforge Arts Center is pleased to present CAM JAM, a day of music on the grounds of the former Medfield State Hospital (MSH) on Saturday, April 30, 2022.

Bellforge’s second event in their inaugural summer series includes performances by five local bands: Jerry Potts with Ryan Carter Martin, Jason Ebbs, The Remnants, The Dadbods, and JC3: Justin Casinghino & Friends.

The concert is free, though registration is encouraged at www.bellforge.org . A rain date has been scheduled for Sunday, May 1.

“We are excited to showcase a wealth of local musical talent at Bellforge this summer,” says Jean Mineo, the Executive Director of the Cultural Alliance of Medfield, who are currently working to build the Bellforge Arts Center at MSH. “CAM JAM is similar to the PorchFest events we’ve run in the past. It will be a lot of fun, with a variety of musical styles to appeal to just about everyone. We’re encouraging visitors to make a day of it, relaxing on the lawn with a blanket and enjoying the beautiful spring weather we’ve been having.”

The line up begins with Jerry Potts and Ryan Carter Martin, who will perform original, contemporary, and folk music, both separately and together. Potts has been in the music industry for more than four decades; Martin recently debuted his first single “Mercy” to great acclaim. Next to perform will be Jason Ebbs, an independent artist from Boston creating a blend of alternative, garage, and beach rock. Following Ebbs will be The Remnants, a high-energy classic/pop/blues rock cover band. The fourth band is The Dadbods, a classic rock duet who always include a few surprises in their setlist to keep the crowd on their toes. JC3: the Justin Casinghino Trio will round out the afternoon with a variety of blues, soul, and traditional songs of New Orleans that will put a smile on the faces of both those ready to sit and listen and those ready to get up and dance.

Bellforge will host a variety of concerts, festivals, and fun family days on most Saturdays from May through October. The majority of events are free; schedules and registration information can be found at the Bellforge website at www.bellforge.org or by registering for their newsletter at https://bit.ly/newsletterBellforge.
