June Jamboree

June 17, 2007 We played two sets at the Modoc County Library June Jamboree. It was at Baker's Garden outside of Alturas, CA. The weather was perfect. The garden was beautiful. The crowd was festive. The Civil War club was fascinating. The birds were entertaining. We like to think we weren't too bad ourselves.

2006 Holiday Craft Fair



We played at the holiday fair at the Fair Grounds in Cedarville. We lived up to our name, jamming to every Christmas song we knew. We also played at the Senior Citizen's Christmas Lunch in December 2006.

First Gig




Our first gig was at Wings of the Warners, the Modoc County Migratory Bird Festival, on Sept. 16, 2006. Left to right are Laura on fiddle, John on guitar, Will on Mandolin, and Owen on Banjo. It was a cold day, John was smart and wore half gloves. The rest of us suffered with cold and slow fingers.

Our beginning

The Wild Plum Jam began because the Modoc Migratory Bird Festival committee needed some music played. A few friends who play at local jams got together to provide the needed music. Then someone said, "we should form a band and do this more often." So we did.
