It was a first for Rockford last year (2023) when the inaugural Flannel Jam concert, presented by Lawncare by Walter, welcomed one of Country Music's biggest stars to town for a secret show.

As we get closer to the second annual benefit concert for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Chicagoland Easterseals, and Rockford's Autism Program, we're making it even bigger and better.

What Is Flannel Jam: Country Confidential + Rock?

We call it Flannel Jam because we host the show during the time of year when we're starting to wear our flannel shirts as temperatures turn cooler and we get into the Fall season.

It's 'Confidential' because you won't know who the performers are until they walk out on the stage.

This year, we're adding a second classic rock performance to have our own Crossroads version of Flannel Jam, presented by Lawncare by Walter, with support by Bufalo Contracting, Perfetti Von Melle, and Jewelry by Christopher.

Flannel Jam 2024 Country Confidential + Rock will feature a National Touring Acoustic Country Performer, plus an intimate Q&A session. AND, an incredible National Touring Acoustic Classic Rock performance, followed by a Q&A.

Plus, many other surprise performances and guests!

What Did I Miss at Flannel Jam: Country Confidential 2023?

It was a night that everyone who was inside the Coronado will never forget at Rockford's first Flannel Jam: Country Confidential with Q 98.5 and Lawncare by Walter.

So many memories from two fantastic acoustic performances on Sunday night (September 10, 2023) in Rockford, Illinois with 'How It Oughta Be' opener Shane Profitt and the multiple-time Grammy, ACM, and CMA Award winner Charles Kelley of country music super trio Lady A.
