The High Seas: Jam Cruise 6 Lineup

The best advertising for Jam Cruise usually comes from past attendees. Literally any time I talk to someone who’s been on Jam Cruise they only have amazing things to say about the experience. Most people who attend one Jam Cruise attend another. What’s not to love? A trip to paradise during the doldrums of January with a bunch of like-minded people featuring great jambands. I just need to find me a sugar mama to pay my fare. Any takers? I look great in a Speedo.

The best parts of Jam Cruise are all the sit-ins that occur between the artists. We’re setting the over/under on Warren Haynes sit-ins is 6…per day. Other only-on-Jam Cruise experiences include multiple workshops, panel discussions, and all sorts opportunities to interact with all the musicians on board.
