Christmas Jam Videos: Sheryl Crow, Warren Haynes, Avett Brothers, Trombone Shorty, Blind Boys, Karl Denson and More
The 24th annual Christmas Jam took place last night in Asheville, where host Warren Haynes welcomed The Avett Brothers, String Cheese Incident, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Anders Osborne, Sheryl Crow and many more of his musical friends to his hometown to raise money for Habitat For Humanity.
Haynes kicked off the show along with the Blind Boys leading to Trombone Shorty’s set with Orleans Ave. The Avett’s took a 45-minute slot before Sheryl Crow offered a guest-laden, nine-song set. String Cheese Incident received the penultimate slot and welcomed Anders Osborne for Joyful Sound, Count M’butu for Can’t Wait Another Day, Karl Denson for Rosie, Warren for Outside Inside and a slew of guests including Haynes, M’butu, Denson and Nigel Hall for a cover of Quinn The Eskimo. The Warren Haynes Band’s headlining set saw guest appearances from M’butu, Denson and a horn section before Haynes welcomed many of the night’s performers for a cover of John Lennon’s Imagine in honor of the Connecticut school shooting to close out the show.
Crow’s name was the biggest WTF?! when the Xmas Jam lineup was announced, but she impressed. Particularly good was this cover of Blind Faith’s Can’t Find My Way Home which also features Warren Haynes, Trombone Shorty and Terence Higgins. Take a look…
