The 11th annual Gem & Jam Festival, located in the sunny and beautiful Tucson, Arizona, is right around the corner and the lineup is stacked with talented music masterminds!
The weekend kicks off with an especially rare treat, four of the six members from the String Cheese Incident will be performing as the Trancident. The festival schedule amps up as Mike Gordon from the infamous jam-band, Phish, will be performing as well as other jam legends such as Dead & Co’s Jeff Chimenti and Steve Kimock & Friends. The compilation of artists is exceptionally diverse and the lines defining producers and live-bands are blurred as we see performances by Gramatik, Lotus, the Floozies, Infamous Stringdusters, the Funk Hunter, the Motet, Russ Liquid Test and more! I recommend paying close attention to the schedule as it is perfectly constructed to foster unique and one-of-a-kind collaborations between artists.
Nestled in the serene Pima County fairgrounds, the three day camping festival happening February 3rd -5th will feature unparalleled art, music and performances, accompanied by gem & mineral displays and vendors.
