Wounded Soul will be playing on June 21st at 6:00 pm. If you’ve never been to Farm Jam READ ON...			Every year for the past bunch of years (28) The Chatham County Cowboys and Steve Hayden have thrown the biggest, baddest, coolest			party in the world...or at least North Carolina. Farm Jam these days is 2 stages side by side with non-stop music. One band is playing 			while another band is setting up so as soon as 1 band stops another band starts. Music stops around 1 to 2 am both days. Every year			people bring lots and lots of food and put it on the mile long table for everybody to stuff themselves. If you come and would like 			to bring some green beans or tator salad or whatever that would be cool. The Chatham County Cowboys cook a pig and/or chickens on 			Saturday. The coolest thing about Farm Jam is you can come out,check out some great bands and eat some great food and camp out and 			it’s all FREE! T shirts will be for sale with the Farm Jam logo and all the bands names listed and all the profits from the t-shirt 			sales go to a Children’s home in Chatham Co. The kids don’t have much so they really appreciate the little they get from donations 			and t-shirt sales.
