Jam Cruise Artist Additions – Final Cabins Going Fast

Jam Cruise 7, leaving from Ft. Lauderdale on January 4, 2009 and traveling to Belize City, Belize and Costa Maya, Mexico, has added additional artists to the already strong lineup. New acts include:

Yacht Rock

Yacht Rock: From ’76 – ’84, FM radio was dominated by smooth music. With a fleet of #1 hits, the music known as yacht rock drove women crazy. The pandemonium prompted J.D. Ryznar to create the famed Internet hit series known as Yacht Rock. What you are about to witness is the musical reincarnation of this momentous phenomenon. Introducing: Dan Lebowitz, Jamie Shields and Ryan Stasik, Kris Myers and Joel Cummins of Umphrey’s McGee.

Jackie Greene: Up and coming Jackie Greene is impressing fans with his rockin guitar and sweet nature. Catch him on Phil Lesh tour to get a taste of his great sound. But better yet, come on Jam Cruise and hang out with him! He’s sure to be sitting in with everyone and spending a lot of time in the jam room!

Cyro Baptista: Cyro Baptista’s mastery of Brazilian percussion and the many instruments he creates himself, have catapulted him onto Jam Cruise. Along with projected sit-ins, Cyro will be holding a percussion workshop involving all that want to participate – he wants to help you develop rhythm within your body while becoming more aware of your physical nature.

DJ Rootz vs Murphy: DJ Rootz is making his second appearance on Jam Cruise. But this time, he’s bringing a friend that we know and love already: David Murphy from STS9 is joining him.

The Current Lineup: Les Claypool • Medeski, Martin & Wood Michael Franti featuring J Bowman Keller Williams with Moseley, Droll and Sipe Galactic and the Cruise Krewe featuring Big Sam, Walter “Wolfman” Washington & Trombone Shorty • Leftover Salmon • Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe Martin Sexton • the New Deal • Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk Grace Potter & The Nocturnals • Emmitt-Nershi Band Garage A Trois • Tea Leaf Green • ALO • Lettuce Porter, Batiste & Stoltz • New Mastersounds •Bonerama Bustle in Your Hedgerow •The Lee Boys The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker Brock Butler • Robert Walter •DJ Rekha
