Please join us this year in honoring not only Tommy Bolin, as we have done for 30 years, but this year the Bolinfest is now also paying tribute to Johnnie Bolin. Johnnie was Tommy’s brother, and a great musician in his own right. He worked tirelessly his whole life to keep the memory and legacy of Tommy alive and well. Now it is our turn to keep Johnnie’s memory alive by including him in our tribute festival to the Bolin brothers.

The Fan Jam will be held at the Doxx Warehouse Bar on 5th Street and Floyd in downtown Sioux City on Thursday & Friday, August 28th and 29th from 7PM-11PM.

The Festival will be held on Saturday, August 30th at Chris Larsen Park, also in downtown Sioux City, right on the river, starting at 2PM. This will be an outdoor show, and in honor of Johnnie Bolin. Band line up:

• The Tommy Bolin Tribute Band – the official Tommy tribute band
• Emmitt DeWater – Omaha-based blues-rock guitarist-songwriter
• Clapton Complete – the music of Eric Clapton
• Cole Allen Band – Minneapolis bues rock
• Orphan Jon & The Abandoned – Texas blues band
• Bolin songs & solos band – Deep Tommy cuts

For the first time ever, the Festival will be FREE! This is courtesy of Bobby Bolin, Johnnie’s son and Tommy’s nephew. If you’re feeling generous and would like to help cover the expenses (bands, park, stage, sound, etc), here is the GoFundMe link for the for 2025 festival.
