By Scott Bernstein Dec 2, 2016 • 7:16 am PST
The Gem & Jam Festival will return for its 11th installment in Tucson, Arizona February 3 – 5. Phish bassist Mike Gordon is the latest addition to the lineup of next year’s Gem & Jam, which will take place at Pima Country Faigrounds.
Gordon joins the top of a lineup that already included Gramatik, The Floozies, Lotus and EOTO & Friends. Gem & Jam ’17 will feature a set from a new The String Cheese Incident side project, The Trancident (Kyle Hollingsworth, Michael Travis, Michael Kang and Jason Hann). G Jones, The Infamous Stringdusters, Poolside, Com Truise, Opiuo and The Motet are also among the acts confirmed to play February’s event. Additionally, Steve Kimock is aboard with a lineup of “Friends” featuring Jeff Chimenti, Bobby Vega and Wally Ingram and they’ll also be joined by members of The Motet for a special Play The Dead! set of Grateful Dead music.
The lineup will continue to grow as we enter 2017, as the event will host over 50 musicians across its 3 stages, plus special late night sets, gem and mineral exhibits, art galleries, painters, dancers, daytime workshops, and much more. “It is exciting to be able to showcase a lineup as dynamic as what we are bringing to Gem & Jam 2017,” said festival co-producer Josh Pollack. “Couple this with our new venue, which now allows us to be a true camping festival and you have the recipe for the best Gem & Jam yet.”
Gem & Jam will be offering camping options for the first time, including: onsite RV camping with hookups, boutique camping, car camping and walk-in camping. You can also expect Gem & Jam to expand on its experience with world-class visuals, unique stage designs, artist galleries, live paintings, experiential installations, daytime workshops, gem and mineral vendors and much more.
