Well, it felt good to announce our initial lineup last week, and ticket sales have been really good, so thanks to all who bought their Early Bird tickets!
We still have more than half of the bands to announce, some we are still working on and some we are saving for a future announcement! But I am very happy with the artists that we have on board so far. Its more of a traditional jamband lineup than we usually go for, but I couldn’t resist having these amazing bands join us.
With Franti’s recent cross-over success, I wasn’t sure his schedule would be open for Mt. Jam, but he really loves our Festival and he didn’t want to miss another return to the Mountain! And I am really psyched to see the new Trucks/Tedeschi band! I have been wanting to welcome Susan to our festival for a long time, and the same goes for Yonder Mountain and Matisyahu!
I have promoted a few Dave Mason shows in recent years and I have to say that he is so good in concert its ridiculous! I hope that Mt. Jam will help to reinvigorate his career (he should be playing a lot more jamband festivals). Les Claypool will be a great new addition to our Late Night bill, which I think is definitely the best time to enjoy him!!! And Lettuce will be a great Late Night band too inside the Lodge!
It’s all starting to come together nicely for a great weekend! in June!
