Fort Worth, Texas -- Just ahead of Memorial Day weekend, Fort Worth will host the final blowout of what may be the biggest grassroots music success story DFW has seen in years.

On Friday, May 23 Kolton Moore & the Clever Few will headline the rescheduled JAMBALOO finale at Tulips. With 180M+ streams and no major label, Kolton’s rise is a testament to the power of community-backed music—and a fitting finale to a festival that redefined how cities can support local scenes.

Jambaloo, a free, week-long music festival that took place (Feb 2–8) across four DFW venues quietly sparked a regional movement:

• 34,000+ free tickets distributed
• 280%+ surge in attendance across four indie venues
• 185%+ increase in venue sales
• A replicable, city-friendly model to revitalize local music economies

Backed by Mullen & Mullen Injury Law and produced by Spune, JAMBALOO proved that investing in local talent pays off—for artists, venues, neighborhoods, and cities. The next JAMBALOO is already slated for February 7–14, 2026, with plans to expand to more venues and cities.
