Jammin’ on the Bay Tribute Fest a go for Rankin Inlet – NNSL

Jammin’ on the Bay is set to return to Rankin Inlet.

The original event took place on the Labour Day weekend in 2001 and featured performances by Trooper, Kim Mitchell, Charlie Major, Sass Jordan, Farmer’s Daughter, Susan Aglukark and the Dust Rhinos.

The man who was the driving force behind the original Jammin’ on the Bay, Jim Ramsay, is also behind round two. But, this time out, the event is known as Jammin’ on the Bay Tribute Fest and will feature tribute bands playing the music of Kiss, Led Zepplin, Bon Jovi, Styx, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Johnny Cash, Harry and The Armpits and a few possible surprises.

The event will be held in Rankin Inlet during the August long weekend, Aug. 2 to 4. If any Inuit associations decide to sponsor the concerts, that money will go towards bringing Inuit artists from across Nunavut into Rankin for the festival.
