Gov’t Mule, Drive-By Truckers Lead 4th Annual Mountain Jam Line-up

For the fourth year in a row, Gov’t Mule will anchor the weekend-long event with a pair of two-set performances. Mountain Jam will also feature a rare festival appearance by Levon Helm, who will perform material from his Grammy-nominated Dirt Farmer and a selection of The Band’s signature songs. Tickets will go on sale Friday, February 1 at 10 am through www.mountainjam.com and www.mule.net

As in years past, Mountain Jam will offer a wide scope of music, including the third appearance by Michael Franti & Spearhead, Citizen Cope, Drive By Truckers, Dark Star Orchestra, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Galactic, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, JJ Grey & Mofro, The Greencards, and Jim Weider.  Medeski, Martin & Wood, who turned in memorable Mountain Jam performances in both 2005 and 2006, will return with jazz legend John Scofield, who made his Mountain Jam debut last spring with Phil Lesh & Friends. The festival will also showcase rising stars like The Felice Brothers, Jackie Greene, Pnuma Trio, and Lotus. More bands will be announced in the near future.

 Mountain Jam passes will be available at www.mountainjam.com and www.mule.net beginning Friday, February 1 at 10 am. Early Bird tickets for a 3-Day Pass are only $115 or $145, including camping. Prices will increase when the early bird allotments run out. A limited number of single-day passes for Sunday will be made available soon for $75 in advance and $85 the day of show.
