Radio Woodstock and world renowned guitarist Warren Haynes’ (Gov’t Mule & The Allman Brothers Band) third annual Mountain Jam Music Festival will take place Friday through Sunday, June 1st – June 3rd at beautiful Hunter Mountain in Hunter, NY.
Gov’t Mule, the band integral to Mountain Jam’s development, will headline Friday and Saturday. Due to popular demand, Mountain Jam has expanded to a three day event, and has announced that Phil Lesh & Friends will headline Sunday evening.
Radio Woodstock’s Gary Chetkof, said "With the addition of Phil Lesh & Friends we feel that this year’s event will be the best Mountain Jam Festival yet and, without a doubt, one of the best rock festivals this Summer."
A founding member of the venerable American musical institution, the Grateful Dead, Phil Lesh (www.phillesh.net) continues to inspire. The world-class musicians that have passed through Phil Lesh & Friends, including Warren Haynes, have thrilled audiences with their high-flying improvisations and timeless renditions of Grateful Dead classics. Mountain Jam reunites Lesh with Haynes for what will be Phil Lesh & Friends’ only 2007 festival season appearance. The band features Lesh (bass, vocals), Haynes (guitar, vocals), John Molo (drums), John Scofield (guitar), and Steve Molitz (keyboards).
Their inclusion completes this year’s stellar line up: Gov’t Mule, Phil Lesh & Friends, G. Love & Special Sauce, Umphrey’s McGee, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Robert Randolph and The Family Band, New Orleans Social Club (featuring Henry Butler, Ivan Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr. and Raymond Weber), Ozomatli, North Mississippi Allstars, Tea Leaf Green, Assembly of Dust, New Monsoon, Earl Greyhound, Papa Mali, U-Melt, The Brakes, Backyard Tire Fire, and The Mercers.
