Mountain Jam Scores Jay Farrar, Grace Potter, Levon Helm’s Birthday Party

This summer, Warren Haynes’ (Gov’t Mule, The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead) Mountain Jam Festival will return to Hunter, New York, with a lineup that boasts Levon Helm’s 70th Birthday Celebration, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band, Toots and the Maytals, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Drive-By Truckers, Dr. Dog, Jay Farrar and more. Rolling Stone has named Mountain Jam one of the top eight music festivals in the country.

The festival, now in its sixth year, will run from Friday, June 4 to Sunday, June 6, with Gov’t Mule once again headlining the festival on Friday and Saturday night. Haynes, no stranger to collaboration, will also join Levon Helm & Friends’ 70th Birthday Celebration, alongside Ray Lamontagne, Steve Earle, Patterson & David Hood, Jackie Greene and Allison Moorer (expect more names to be announced). Tickets and updates are available at http://www.mountainjam.com.
