Jennifer spoke about a variety of guest appearances she has made as well as experiences having other musicians sit-in with her bands. Hartswick starts by recalling the preparation that went into the TAB set at Lockn’ featuring Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. Hartswick then touched on her participation in Phish’s musical cover of David Bowie’s The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars on Halloween 2016 and the debut Ghosts Of The Forest tour. Next came a discussion of the Jennifer-led Super Jam aboard this past January’s Jam Cruise 17. The Vermont native spoke about the recent trend of tributes taking the spotlight over original material, her guest appearances with Umphrey’s McGee, performing with Oteil & Friends and Melvin Seals as well as other topics.
