By Team JamBase May 1, 2013 • 2:45 pm PDT


Not only will Jam Cruise 12 take place on a new boat and leave from a different port than on previous cruises, but January’s installment of the original floating festival will feature plenty of new-to-Jam Cruise acts as well. Les Claypool’s Duo de Twang, Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks, Phish drummer Jon Fishman’s Pork Tornado, John Popper, Bootsy Collins and the Funk Unity Band and Thievery Corporation are just a few of the acts who will make their Jam Cruise debut aboard the MSC Divina on January 4th – 9th aboard Jam Cruise 12.
Today’s initial artist announcement also includes plenty of Jam Cruise stalwarts including Nathan Moore, Brock Butler, Keller Williams, Eric Krasno, Col. Bruce Hampton and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. New Orleans funk act Galactic will return for Jam Cruise 12 as the only full band to perform on each and every trip.
Also of note, Jam Cruise 12 will feature the Full Moon Resort Music Masters Camp at Sea in which six artists and special guests will teach master classes and workshops as well as will offer special performances.
