Founded in 1993 in Portland, Oregon, seminal americana rock band Haymaker enjoyed success throughout the 1990’s, receiving national press and major label attention for multiple album releases and several singles. The core of the success that has continued to this very day has been due to high energy live performances.

A wild country soul strapped to a rocket of rock energy.

Dear SJMF fans & followers...
On Tuesday morning we received the incredibly disappointing news that the grant we were depending on for most of our funding this year was denied.
Over the last couple days we have scrambled to find a solution rather than cancel the festival. In a last ditch effort to salvage the event we have decided to try a one week campaign on GofundME to try and raise the funds we need to make it happen. If we fail to raise enough, unfortunately we have no choice but to cancel the event. This has been a huge undertaking to get organized and booked, and it would break our hearts if we can't bring it to life.
Help us make this free, community based music festival happen!

For a $40 donation, you'll get one of a limited printing of the festival poster with original artwork by Jalin Malin or Chris McMurry.
