Hey, I tried this post in the lyrics section of these forums and got a bunch of emo lyrics so I might as well try it here. I play keyboards for a Michigan jam band called Grüv Unit (check out our website [url]http://www.gruvunit.com/[/url]). right now we're mainly a Dead,etc. cover band but we're looking to play more originals. I'm looking for a lyricist who can write some good Americana lyrics a la The Band, Grateful Dead, Allmans, Little Feat, etc. I write a lot of music but any words I try to write don't really come out sounding that good.

Also JPage, I must agree with you on the parking for Bonaroo. After the mess at Coventry I don't know if i wanna deal with big festivals anymore. I definately got phucked at Coventry. I missed the first day and walked 10miles there and back in the cold. It was definately worth it to see the boys one last time but there was plenty of hastle. This summer I'm checking out the smaller festivals, you can hear all about them at jambase.com.

[QUOTE=Jam2Me]That's quite a line-up. I've only seen about 5 people on that list tho.
(ABB, Panic, DMB, Soundtribe Sector 9, and Toots)

BTW

Gov't Mule is coming to a venue very close to me, tickets aren't sold out yet, but they cost $80 ;( I dunno if I wanna dish out that much to see them when I'm gonna be seeing them at Bonnaroo.[/QUOTE]
****! It was only $35 in Pittsburgh, that sucks.




Also those aren't all the artists just the ones that have already been confirmed, so Trey and moe. will probably be there.

Yeah Trey's gonna be there, that will be good hopefully it's on TV or something.

Anyone here into Galactic? I picked there studio album after I saw them at B.B. King's in NY. One helluva jam band :thumb:

I've heard some of there stuff on nugs, they're absolutely amazing. I really want to move New York.

I take the train to NY every once in a while, that club has some awesome shows week after week. I pretty much wish I lived in NY now too ;(

semi-Offtopic: I can't listen toa nytihng on nugs it opens one of my music players that doesn't work with it, any advice? If it's too complicated just forget it about it though, no biggie.

Completely delete that music player.

JAM BANDS!!!!!

Well I'm listening to Victor Wooten if he counts.

I'm listening to The Smiths. And I'm only typing this so that this awesome thread stays up.

I'm listening to Pink Floyd.




/not a jam band

I'm listening to Widespread Panic - "Coconuts." Such an awesome song.

EDIT: Forgot to add I'm going to go see Keller Williams & Yonder Mtn String Band in Feb!!

That should be an awesome show, and those aren't the only bands just the ones that have already been confirmed, so Galactic might be there.

That's good, I saw them play here during the Summer. It was an awesome show.

Im seeing Keller Williams March 5 in Chicago. (if anyone in this area can go, I recommend)

So nice

More artists that will be at Bonnaroo:

Trey Anastasio - Special Late Night Show
Benevento / Russo Duo feat. Mike Gordon
Mouse On Mars
Old Crow Medicine Show
Tea Leaf Green

I hope Ben Harper and Primus/Claypool make appearences.

A good line up so far. I'm pretty sure there will be more, just most probaly aren't confirmed yet.

I'm not into Claypool all that much, I liked Oysterhead that's about it. Ben Harper is awesome.

I love Claypool. Have any of you heard Live Frogs Set 2? Covering all of Animals is a major feat in the studio, but to do it live is just amazing.

if anyone knows any scales used by trey in any songs for guitar id appreciate it. thanks

Ah, it breaks my heart that Trey and Gordon will both be playing and not sharing a stage.

Does anyone own 'Clone' by Leo Kottke and Mike? I have Mike Gordon's solo and Leo Kottke's solo, and was wondering what their collaboration sounded like. I'm sure it's just awesome.

Claypool is awesome. I have his work with Primus and a lot of his solo stuff.

[I]Clone[/I] is one of my favorite albums ;)

Very quirky and definitley interesting.

[I]Supposably[/I], Trey makes up his own scales (alot of the time).

Badmoon, Keller is playing in Chicago, as well as moe., if it's any concern to you.
