Friends, I am ready for a return to green lights and open highways! Our lives of personal freedoms ... was that just eight or so weeks ago?...have undergone tremendous changes this Spring. Public health concerns, closed schools and businesses, pay cuts and unemployment have crippled our 'average American lives'. All of us wonder when, and if, life will return to normal. But hopefully, these weeks of downtime at home have yielded you some unexpected blessings, too. Many are gardening, walking, biking and simply sitting on their porches. And I've seen more American flags displayed in neighborhoods than ever before! For me, it's been extra time to plan a whopper of a Country music show for you as soon as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted! Jamboree co-producer Mike Shing and I will be following guidelines set by state and local leaders when venues can re-open, and we have had our fingers crossed for re-opening the Reilly Springs Jamboree in June 2020. If that becomes possible, the plans are already in place for Saturday June 20, 2020 onstage at The ROC in Sulphur Springs with special guest Monty Tipps, the Running Creek Band, Sentimental Journey Duo and other talented local performers. Whether this becomes a reality in June depends on protocol dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Other 2020 Jamborees will be held at the Reilly Springs Community Center on third-Saturday nights of the month. Keep checking here for dates and information. Meantime, let's all stay safe together now, by following recommendations by our elected leaders and medical professionals.

OUR OWN JONES BOYS! Make plans to attend this month's Reilly Springs Jamboree for a good country gospel show followed by traditional country when Gary Jones Jr. appears on Saturday August 17, 2019. "Junior" is the son of Gary 'Don' Jones, former long-time member of Ray Price Band. Gary is one of the best lead guitarists in Northeast Texas, and now his son is following in his country music legacy. First up, Shanna Carter and 'Walk the Line' at 6 pm will get your spirits lifted in a wholesome, feel-good way. Then meet the duo Mike Shing and Enola Gay, followed by the 'Jones Boys' concert when they cut loose on country the way it should be played!

It was a wonderful night at the Reilly Springs Jamboree when "Elvis" Josh Davis headlined and young ladies Ameri Shay also Hanah Moore guested on Roger Reed's final show of his career. Roger is retiring and is giving up his music for now. He claims he's 65 now and "old!!" However, Enola Gay and the Jamboree will continue on the third Saturday of each month,so plan to be there on August 17,2019 when Gary Jones Jr. joins his dad (and little brother! ) onstage for a great country music show and family friendly atmosphere. Earlier, the Blackwood Quartet was scheduled to appear on our August show but regrettably,we were not able to secure that date. I have recently been told there are some posts out there mentioning their appearance at Reilly Springs Jamboree on August 17,2019 but that is not the case. Please spread the word, and plan to come see Gary Jones Jr and our Jamboree band on Saturday August 17 at 6pm for a heapin' helping of our Reilly Springs hospitality!
