ABOUT SAMAPALOOZA
- 2009 Samapalooza Crew
There have been thousands of parties on the land on which Samapalooza is now held. At the same time, Sam’s family and friends have also been using the land for over 20 years to camp, fish and do some partying as well. The first Samapalooza was little more than one of such parties, the difference being a band and an admittedly pathetic stage built from scrap wood taken from the barn. The marriage of the land and music was consummated.
The years following saw a dramatic scaling of the event. Throughout this growth, the crew has developed a deep, personal attachment to the land and to Samapalooza. With a beautiful large covered stage, a bar and food area constructed from scratch with love from an old treehouse on the property and a complete sound system made possible by all the hard work from the “kids” who once camped and partied on this same magical spot.
As with any grassroots effort, Samapalooza would not be possible without the effort a large number of participants. The Samapalooza group is a tight-knit conglomeration of artists, musicians, sound engineers, land surveyors, cooks, electricians, handymen and countless other brilliant minds including RootJam Director of Music Services Andrew Keating and RootJam Founder Cat Caspar which is why the RootJam/Samapalooza partnership is so special. For the second year in a row, RootJam is the sponsor for this event making much of the updates possible on the quest to give musicains and fans a fun, safe place to meet, enjoy, listen and play music!
This year Samapalooza and RootJam hosted 10 unbelievable bands from California. Please check out the bands that played below!
