The first Jammys ceremony was held in 2000 at Irving Plaza with an attendance of approximately 1,000. The growing awards show migrated to Roseland for two turns before a major upgrade to the Theater at Madison Square Garden last year. Unique collaborations between distinguished musicians of differing backgrounds have become the hallmark of the Jammys; the benchmark event has featured the best acts from the worlds of alternative, gospel, jazz, funk, southern rock, hip-hop, electronica, bluegrass, and country, allowing each live music segment to stretch to twenty minutes.
"We expect another memorable night of music from an eclectic group of musicians. The Jammys always provide musical magic with one-night-only collaborations," said Jammys Producer Peter Shapiro.
"Every year the talent and excitement at the Jammys seems to exceed the previous year. Fans should expect more unforgettable performances this year," says Steve Bernstein, President and Publisher of Relix Magazine.
Hosted by sacred steel virtuoso Robert Randolph, last year's Jammys featured performances from members of Dr. John with Widespread Panic's John Hermann, Solomon Burke with The Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi, String Cheese Incident with Perry Farrell, Steve Winwood, and a surprise reunion between The Black Crowes' Chris and Rich Robinson with Gov't Mule.
