To mark two decades of the Jam, the Deadwood Jam committee plans to bring back many fan favorites of the first 20 years. Collective Soul rocked the Jam stage in 2003, and they will return to the stage on Sept. 18.
The Jam’s volunteer committee listened to the audience and brought the band back. “Collective Soul was definitely a crowd favorite, and since they were here last, we’ve listened to Jam fans requesting them back again,” said Matt Pike, Deadwood Jam committee chairman. “With 2010 marking 20 years of the Deadwood Jam, we went after Collective Soul to bring back one of the most-requested bands.”
With hits such as “The World I Know,” “Shine,” “December,” “Gel”, “Listen,” “Heavy,” “Run” and many others, Collective Soul is a multi-platinum band with a catalog of No. 1 hits. Their hit “Tremble for My Beloved” was on the movie soundtrack for Twilight. Their newest collaboration, due out later this year, already has the hit “Staring Down” playing on radio stations across the country.
Collective Soul won’t be the only crowd favorite returning to the Jam. Committee members are in the process of finalizing Friday, Sept . 17, and Saturday, Sept. 18, lineups. “We will be announcing more bands in coming days, and we know fans will be very pleased,” said Pike.
As part of the celebration of 20 years of the Deadwood Jam, single-day tickets will go on sale today, Feb. 11 at the discounted price of $20 per ticket per day. The low price is being offered for just 20 days, through March 2, as thanks for the loyalty of the many Jam-goers over the years.
