Kick out the Jams

If it's a party you're looking for, look no further than downtown Lexington. The zany folks at Z-103 are proud to bring you the 3rd Annual LexJam at Triangle Park. Filling the downtown area, this gathering boasts an impressive roster of local acts assembling for a night of gifted performance. Prepare yourself for the reckless abandon of headliners Supafuzz (pictured), the melodic songcraft of Lyrics Vice and the stellar musicianship of Steggo. Attic Down, The Hub and Apollo Creed will also perform. Event organizer and radio personality Sticky anticipates a huge turn-out. "We've been successful the past few years," he says. "And this year's event looks to be even better. The musical line-up is just so good. And while music is the focus and highlight of the event, it's also about celebrating Lexington as a city and its rich culture. I'm just really excited about being a part of this thing." So get out there and shake your caboose with Sticky and company. It's time to mingle with your fellow Lexingtonians.

September 15, Triangle Park, 6pm-12am. Please visit www.z103.com for more information.
