Sun and Music Shine at HamJam 2013

The free concert, in its second year, was scheduled to play Saturday until 8 p.m at Crocker Park.

Gray skies gave way to blue for the opening of HamJam 2013 noon Saturday at Crocker Park.

One of the opening acts was Spaceman Spiff, a band of Marblehead and Swampscott players and college students reunited during their summer break.

The audience was stretched out in the grass, sitting on rocks and standing nearby.

Musicians slated to follow Spaceman prepared for their performances at the edges.

A bass player plucked his unplugged electric bass in a gazebo. A guitar player strummed his acoustic by the waterfront.

Below, sailboats and paddle-boarders cruised Marblehead Harbor. 

The free concert, a benefit for the Plummer Home in Salem, was slated to run until 8 p.m. Saturday.

We'll have some video from the show in Monday's Patch.

The 2.8-acre Crocker Park is off Front Street. For directions click here.
