2007 Xmas Jam Review & Photos - Asheville, NC
I am posting this a bit later than I wanted, but as usual, my real job and other issues got in the way. I am now away from the "Cubicle From Hell" until after the 1st of the year, so now I can work on more important things.
Rolled into Asheville on Thursday nite for the Christmas Jam and laid down a plan for the weekend for the music I wanted to hear. Two clubs had music going on during the day, Jack in the Wood and Stella Blue, as well as the Pre-Jam at the Orange Peel on Friday night for us lucky few that got VIP tickets.
Friday morning I arrived at the Civic Center to pick up my wristband and ran in Tom and his son Tommy, the Muleheads from the state of Maine who I met at the Mountain Jam back in June. Tom is the proprietor of the Bar Harbor Blues Authority Bar as well as several other businesses and was a encyclopedia of knowledge on the background of most of the musicians in Asheville for the weekend.
Started off at the Jack of the Wood at around 1 and spent a few hours listening to some tunes while Tom and I got caught up as well as trying to get info out of Tommy on the latest lady friend in his life…. It might as well been a state secret…… On Saturday, the boys snagged a table right in front of the stage, so that is the vantage point of most of the photos.
Below are a few of the artists that I saw during the day on Friday and Saturday. The Pre-Jam on Friday night did not allow any cameras and I was seated too far away at the Xmas Jam to get any decent photos. Dino Perucci was the official photographer at the event and has a great selection of pics on the website for the Xmas Jam and the Pre-Jam. It was a great time and highly recommend for any music enthusiast. Enjoy…..
