Warren Haynes' Xmas Jam Lineup

Ba-Zing!

The Xmas Jam is, hands down, the biggest entertainment event of the year in Asheville. Looking forward to Panic on Halloween, but Warren, the Mule, about eight super support acts, and a sprinkling of guest musicians make for a Saturday not to be missed. Can't wait to see what Santa's bringing to the lineup this year.

And it's VERY cool to see that a group build has been incorporated this year.

If you could give Warren a holiday gift, what would it be?

Me thinks I would make him a personalized singing 'Warren bass'. Nothing says you care like a singing fish.

God, I miss Asheville...

Hopefully I can make it home for this. And hopefully the Xmas Jam will return to its '02--'04 form.

Overall-- Bele Chere is a much bigger entertainment event than the Xmas Jam. More people, more bands, hell, they shut the city down for an entire weekend. But, Xmas Jam is way cooler usually. Can't wait to see the line up. But I'm not here to hate, just saying,

Asheville rules, Warren rules, and the Xmas jam rules. Hope to see you all there.

I wanna find out who's playing this xmas jam other than Mule. Has that information been released yet? Does anybody know anything, any ideas? Asheville is probably kickass in December. Help me out.

It doesn't really matter who else is playing. If Warren and Gov't Mule is present, no others need be.

Asheville rocks anytime of year. Especially around Halloween this year and always at Christmas!

I'm pumped. Sorry I don't have much to add to this string except "See you bitches there!"

The first (and only so far) Christmas Jam I attended a few year ago was so awesome. I don't own a watch so I had no idea what time it was. While I did notice that a good number of people left before it ended, when we got back to the hotel (5 minute walk), I looked at the clock and uttered a "Holy x*d%4!" (Now I don't swear much).

It was 4:45am.

I had no idea it was so late. For all practical purposes it was over 8 hours of nonstop music. Maybe the longest break setting up equipment took 5 minutes if that.

You can bank on Dave Schools, Audley Freed and Edwin McCain. And while it's pure conjecture, none of these would shock me:

Michael Franti & Spearhead (MF played Warren's NY fest in '06, and they got real chummy at Bonnaroo this year), Bruce Hornsby & Ricky Scaggs (There's at least one Dead family rep almost every year), Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi (been a couple years since there's been an Allman rep), and Porter Wagoner & Marty Stuart (Marty's been there two years in a row and this pairing would be awesome).

But for a dream addition, I'll have my fingers crossed for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.

The Spearhead and Trucks/Tedeschi Soul Review make sense....I'm personally hoping for My Morning Jacket....they played at Mountain Jam last year w/ Mule so who knows!!

I predict a John Paul Jones appearance.

...and by the way, if your in Asheville for Halloween this year, you owe it to yourself to check out RAQ late night at the Orange Peel. They're gonna blow the roof off that place.

Actually, JPJ sounds like a decent call, DBang. He pulled off two or three pretty darned cool tunes at Bonnaroo late night at the Mule's stage. And he's already done the Merlefest thing. So it certainly wouldn't be beyond belief to see him play the sit-in guy at Xmas Jam.

Good call on RAQ, too. Panic should let out nlt 11, and the Peel is only about a five or six block walk.

I vote Ricky Skaggs!!!!! Marty Stuart has been great the last two years.

this is probably gonna be my first christmas jam... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE GUESTS LIST.

it seems warren gut chummy w/ jake this year too!! UM would be fuckin awesome, IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD 06'S MULE(FROM MULES SET) W/ BAYLISS, GET IT AND ROCK THE FUCK OUT TO IT!!!!!

Keller,the duo,umphreys,and the disco biscuits are all playing in jamaica on the 15th so count them out...

first off i meant sco mule, not mule, and yeah on the caribean holiday and what old fart gave me a thumbs down? last years sco mule was sick and if warren likes jake, brendan and crew then they are good, if your okay w/ warren then your okay w/ me,

I would bet on The Word playing this year. Stef said on JamOn that a birdie told her that The Word would be getting together around the holiday season.

I've been fantasizing and speculating about the 2007 Jam lineup since the day after last years jam! John Popper Project is also a given. I doubt Michael Franti will be there, he's playing here in Asheville tomorrow. Dave M. played an amazing set last year- I'm hoping and praying that he will come back with Tim Reynolds who has just moved to North Carolina. My vote for the Dead rep is Phil. And what about a Phish member? Trey and Mike have both done the Jam. Finally my far fetched wish- The Roots!

We'll find out any day now...

Sunshine71 last years x-mas jam was one of the worst that i can recall. I look forward to going the x-mas jam every year, but if the line-up looks like it did last year i will not be attending! My vote goes to Trucks and Susan, and THE WORD!!!!!!

Lets bring back the truckers, as a whole band. They opened up for Allmans in NC and VAin the summer. Id like to see TLG show up, that would be great. As far as Dave M last year, that did suck. I thought Taj Mahal and Marty Stuart did a good job. Ill watch Marty live anytime. Ill be there.

i want yoooooou....to show me the way....to warren's x-mas jam.

Weak sauce... old timers, Jackson brown will be OK but Peter Frampton? Puhleeese.

weak shit !!!!!!!!!!!

Warren come on??????????????

Interesting choice here on the X-Mas jam. Cool he got Bruce Hornsby, and I didn't know Stockholm Syndrome still played shows. But come on, compared to the previous jams, this lineup drops a few notches. It seems the bands I wouldn't want to see outweigh the ones I would on list here. Anyone else agree?

Still not bad for $46.50 (about 60+ after Ticketmaster has its way with you)

Ouch...this line-up does not hurt so good.

Peter Frampton was 100% on point the last time i saw him, over five years ago. You may not like his tunes, but it's Xmas Jam not a Frampton show, so don't worry too much.

I agree, not as much jamband as in years past, but we still love you Warren. Time to add on John Paul Jones and Ricky Skaggs.

this actually may be worse than last years line up!!!! I cannot decide.

All I know, is the last two years, the lineups have gone downhill.

they used to be reallyyy cool!!!

Are you naysayers of Frampton kidding me? Have any of you ever heard of Humble Pie? Go get Rockin' the Filmore if you have any questions about what this guy is capable of being a part of; that is one of the best live albums ever. Marriott was raw soul, and God bless him for it. The Mule used to rock "30 Days in the Hole" all the time. There's no doubt in my mind that they will revisit some of that full rock glory on stage that night. "I Don't Need No Doctor," "Guilded Splinters," "4 Day Creep," "Up Your Sleeve," just to name a few. Taken out of context, sure Frampton Comes Alive can be cheezy, but as a whole, it shows that he has the ability to go solo and have the crowd eating out of his hand for the entire show - an entire guitar driven show no less; not to mention lining the streets to buy the album.

Jackson Browne is capable of delivering and will deliver. He has the emotion and delivery that Warren solo and Kevn Kinney strive for in their songwriting. Of course, he should be there.

Mr. Haynes, thanks for saving Audley Freed from those damn Dixie Chicks, even if it is only for one nite. Doesn't someone, in a decent band, need a badass guitar player. Why o Why Audley are you playing for those girls????

Frampton is a very good guitar player! I'm with dirtyleg, Humble Pie was the shit! Check out anything live from them, especially Rockin' the Filmore. Frampton's new album (all instrumental) is pretty good also.
