Jammsammich
Jammsammich

Admission: $7
Gates open: 7:30pm
Show starts: 8:30pm

Back on the RiverFront in 2017 is a Peoria and Central Illinois favorite: Jammsammich! With tunes from 4 decades, including Motown, disco, funk, hip-hop, retro 80's, Buffett, and rock, Sammich is the TRUE variety band--there REALLY is something for everyone. The formula of groove-driven funk and R&B, retro 80's tunes, island jams, and liberal doses of comedy has proven to be one of the most potent in the last decade and, in the spirit of flattery, has become an imitated commodity. You won’t want to miss a night packed with all of your favorite tunes performed by the one and only Jammsammich!

UnityPoint Health Red White & Boom!
UnityPoint Health Red White & Boom!

Alpha Media is bursting with pride to announce the Peoria area will be celebrating our Nation’s birth with UnityPoint Health – Red White and Boom Brought Home by Adam Merrick Real Estate again in 2017.


UnityPoint Health – RED, WHITE and BOOM, Brought Home by Adam Merrick Real Estate, 2017 is a “pyromusical”… a blend of fireworks fired from a barge in the middle of the Illinois River synchronized to a patriotic musical soundtrack broadcast on Alpha Media stations! Spectators are encouraged to bring portable radios tuned to one of the Alpha Media stations to enjoy the added dimension of music that matches the fireworks!

What is now UnityPoint Health – Red White and Boom began 30 years ago as Skyconcert 1987 with music synchronized to KZ93, the station that is now 93.3 The Drive. The fireworks display took a huge leap forward in 2007 when UnityPoint Health began as the title sponsor and all Alpha Media stations began promoting the event and airing the synchronized music soundtrack.

Check out http://www.redwhiteandboom.us for all the info!
